Too many open files exception ignored by UnixPrintServiceLookup.execCmd()

[cresley battlelite]

When I request a javax.print.PrintJob to print on Unix, the PrintService checks to see if the printer is accepting jobs and can return a false negative if there are too many open files because the following Exception is ignored (see j2se/src/solaris/classes/sun/print/UnixPrintServiceLookup.java)
 
java.security.PrivilegedActionException: java.io.IOException: Too many open filesCaused by: java.io.IOException: Too many open files
I would have preferred a PrintException 
 
        } catch (PrivilegedActionException e) {        }
should change to (or similar) 
 
        } catch (PrivilegedActionException e) {                throw new PrintException("Unable to determine if printer is accepting jobs - " + e.getMessage());
        }
Is there a better area than discuss to discuss such things?
