Hi Jason,

Thanks for the SDN comment.
I updated 4759223 and 4918916.

I closed 4759223 as a dup of 6347106, but
4918916 is still an issue (although I should probably close as
Not a Defect, following Josh).

So most of the history is in the following:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4918916
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4759223
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6347106

Yes I still have this email and that Sun Ultra 20 from the Mustang Regressions challenge :)
