Request for approval: 7121314 : Behavior mismatch between AbstractCollection.toArray(T[] ) and its spec

Is such a correction in an update allowed now ? Even if it is a 
correction to original (released) behaviour ? This may be harmless but 
I'm checking to be sure.

David, Mike, Sean - what are your thoughts here ? Does this need further 
discussion with conformance/compatibility engineers ?

regards,
Sean.
