The following CORBA fixes seem to have been included in the proprietary Oracle JDK 6,
then forwardported to OpenJDK 7 & 8 without including OpenJDK 6.  Without them, the
latest set of security fixes cause TCK regressions.

6763340: memory leak in com.sun.corba.se.* classes
6980681: CORBA deadlock in Java SE believed to be related to CR 6238477
7162902: Umbrella port of a number of corba bug fixes from JDK 6 to jdk7u/8

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/corba_fixes/corba/

These introduce a TCK regression of their own which is fixed by:

6893617: JDK 6 CNCtx always uses the default ORB

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/corba_fixes/jdk/

The patches are included in the current IcedTea 1.12.x and 1.13.x releases,
the first three since 1.12.0.
