Request to backport "6296893: BMP Writer handles TopDown property incorrectly, for some of the compression types" into OpenJDK6

[Kelly O'Hair]

I am scratching my head on this one.

I am not an imageio expert, but from what I read I am a bit concerned that people may have found
workarounds for this problem, and this change could possibly break their workarounds.
I know that sounds silly, but there it is.  Is that possible?

Can someone assure me that this change is harmless to the current complete jdk6 community?
