Need reviewers for changes in java/net regression tests

[Joe Darcy]

Hello Pavel.

In principle, I approve this sort of change, but I'd like some 
clarifications before granting final approval

It would be helpful to know what JDK 7 changesets these fixes came from 
and what the differences from the JDK 7 changes are in OpenJDK 6.

Generally, the @bug list in the test should indicate what bugs the test 
addresses.  Is there a changeset for bug  6656849?  If so, you could 
request approval to backport it.
