This is a simplified backport of 6515172 suitable for Java 8. It does 
end up being a combination of that fix and 8165153, but you can't be a 
backport of two bugs, and there are no distinct parts that might map to 
each bug. That was why originally this was flagged under a separate bug 
id. But I agreed that this could be considered a simpified backport of 
6515172.

Thanks,
David
