Thanks for doing the push.

One Oracle bug for this test failure seems to be,

     6945460 TEST_BUG: runtime/6929067/Test6929067.sh

but it is not marked as fixed in any release.

There was some discussion on IcedTea:

     
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2010-November/011057.html

and at least some on HotSpot:

     
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2010-November/010959.html
     
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2010-December/011329.html

but I don't see a resolution.
