[Bug 100017] XML encoder can cause a StackOverflowError

[Joe Wang]

Mark,

Thanks for the comment.  Since JAXP itself is an open source project, 
this fix was done in JAXP and then integrated into JDK7. In JAXP, I kept 
the Red Hat Copyright header and noted that it was contributed by Omair 
Majid who originally created the bug report. I did add GNU+CDDL license 
header which I will remove from the jaxp project. This test has not been 
integrated into OpenJDK. I'll pass the comment to SQE who would be 
responsible for integrating tests.

During a discussion for 100123, I was told I could not use the 
patch/test unless the contributor has signed the SCA. I'll check with 
legal again on this.

Andrew:  have you or Omair signed the SCA?

Thanks,
Joe
