Hi Thomas and David,

> Both IBM and SAP stepped up their AIX efforts because the AIX port is still needed. More eyes find more issues.

Yes this is true, we at SAP started again this year to run tests on AIX using jdk-head and found those issues on AIX.
Windows **might**  have similar needs,  but so far I saw the issues with outdated lib cache only on AIX, that's why I did the change on this platform.
