RFR: JDK-5108778 Too many instances of java.lang.Boolean created in Java application

[Christian Thalinger]

Thanks for volunteering to look into such old bugs!

Is this the only occurrence of that pattern in the hotspot repository?  If you want to fix this in hotspot only without the jdk changes described in the RFE (I just changed the type from Bug to Enhancement) then we have to file a new RFE because we can’t close the original one.
