Sounds sensible.  Please note that patches for 1.9 require approval on
the list before commit.  I presume you are also going to commit this to
HEAD as well.

Backports should be stored in patches/openjdk/<bugid>-<summary>.patch
for ease of removal when they appear upstream.

Does this fix any bugs in the IcedTea or Red Hat bugzilla as well?

Thanks,
