I've just filed a SubCR for 7103610 to have this fix back-ported to a 7 
update release. As with any such back-porting, this may take some time. 
Please stay tuned.

As to porting this fix to a 6 update release of OracleJDK, I'm not 
really sure if this is possible at this stage w/o some serious 
justification. 6 is an old release, and only fixes for very severe bugs 
are acceptable for it.

However, I think there may be a possibility to port this fix to 
OpenJDK6. I'm copying jdk6-dev at openjdk.java.net to clarify if the fix 
[1] can be accepted. If OpenJDK6 folks agree, we'll file a SubCR for 
this release and push the fix there.
