[7u40] Request for approval 8015604 JDP packets containing ideographic characters are broken

[Seán Coffey]

Dmitry,

do you want to add the bug ID to @bug tag in JdpTest.sh file ? Please 
create a jdk8 fixVersion record in JBS also so that this doesn't fall 
under the radar.

Approved.

regards,
Sean.
