Hi Roman,

Xiaobin, just yesterday, send out a code review request to address this 
problem:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2008-June/000404.html
(see CR 6681796).

So I expect it will make it into the jdk7/hotspot-rt/hotspot repository 
soon, and from there it will get pushed to jdk7/hotspot/hotspot (and 
then jdk7/jdk7/hotspot) as part of our regular gatekeeping integrations.
