Hi All

This is a request to backport a jdk8 fix into jdk7u-dev.

7200720:  crash in net.dll during NTLM authentication

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7200720

A native code crash could occur in certain circumstances when NTLM 
authentication
is being repeated.

The fix is already included in jdk8 as:

Reviewed here:

The patch for jdk7u-dev is identical to the one in jdk8.

webrev for 7u-dev is at:
