[7u4] Request for approval for 6671616: TEST_BUG: java/io/File/BlockIsDirectory.java fails when /dev/dsk empty (sol)

[Chris Hegarty]

Hi,

This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u4:

6671616: TEST_BUG: java/io/File/BlockIsDirectory.java fails when 
/dev/dsk empty (sol)

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6671616
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=2212764

The fix has already been pushed to JDK 8:
  http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/40d699d7f6a1

The changes for jdk7u4 are identical to the ones in jdk8, except for the 
change to ProblemList.txt. The removal of 
'java/io/File/BlockIsDirectory.java' from the ProblemList.txt is not 
applicable since it is not there.

Thanks,
-Chris.
