Haha. Maybe I should have. My understanding of ~~the~~ zLinux system is growing, so this difference is not one I knew right from the beginning.

> Ideally, you should downport [JDK-8253952](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8253952) which fixes the root of the problem and not just a single affected caller like your current fix. But unfortunately, that can't be done straight away because it changes the public API specification and has an associated CSR.

I agree with this assessment. If there is a strong preference to go with the other change minus the API changing code I would be open to that as well.
