Hi Andrew,
thank you for your clarification.

I've added this test to a exclude list with an explanation why this test
is "blacklisted". hg diff with the proposed change for IcedTea7 is
stored in an attachment and here is ChangeLog entry:

2011-05-20  Pavel Tisnovsky  <ptisnovs at redhat.com>

        * test/jtreg/excludelist.jdk.jtx:
        Added LocaleEnhanceTest to a JTreg exclude list,
        because the test base class can not be used
        in IcedTea due to questionable licence.

Do you think it is ok to push this change to IcedTea7?

Thank you in advance,
Pavel
