We regularly import from the stablisation branches:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hsx14/master/ (OpenJDK6 b17 & b18)
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hsx16/master/ (OpenJDK6 b19)
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hsx17/master/ (OpenJDK6 b20?)

The last one, hs17, includes the OpenJDK7 version of this fix.
Including an OpenJDK6 version now with 1.5 source and target versions
has the advantage that we won't bring in a version that requires
source and target versions of 1.6 from hs17.

Joe, does b20 sound appropriate for hs17?  I know it's a bit soon
after hs16, but the proprietary JDK6 is already moving towards this
and we could do with catching up.  It will be take time for such an
OpenJDK6 release to roll through into an IcedTea6 release and then the
distros anyway, so I'd prefer sooner rather than later.

I pushed the fix: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/hotspot/rev/e77ed20ce981

I'm done now for b19.
