[7u-dev] Request for approval: 8001124: jdk7u ProblemList.txt updates (10/2012)

[Seán Coffey]

Alan,

thanks for looking into this. It's something many of us have had on our 
plates for a while now. The underlying testcases still need addressing 
and that's something I'm hoping to work on with team colleagues soon 
(for core libs area at least)

Approved for 7u-dev.

regards,
Sean.
