[7u-dev] Request for approval for 8001208: Fix for KRB5CCNAME not complete

[Seán Coffey]

Approved for jdk7u-dev.

I noticed that you've used a record of type JIRA "sub-task" for this 
fix. I'm not sure why type "bug" can't be used and it's an issue we'll 
have to discuss as we become more familiar with JIRA.

regards,
Sean.
