Requesting approval for putback to 7u2 phase 2.
bug ID : http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7101658
(bug report not visible yet)
changes for 7082769 fix have led to behavioural changes which can lead
to native file descriptor exhaustion. Basically - file descriptors are
not released until all streams referencing them are closed.
For the short term, we should backout the 7082769 changes until a full
solution which doesn't cause issue in terms of compatibility is found.
I'm hoping to get this change into 7u2.

Code review thread is at

Code review approved by : Alan Bateman, Rob McKenna.
This won't be going into jdk8 since I intend to get a new fix in there
which we can bake before porting back to older JDKs.
Regards,
Sean.
