Possibility of backporting fix for JDK-6986863

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Harald,

it looks like a non-trivial change. However, as it is a bugfix, I guess it can be considered for backporting to 11u.

To bring it forward I suggest you start by creating a Pull Request with a backport to https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u-dev. Or find a developer who would do so ��

Thanks
Christoph
