[Andrew Hughes]

Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7191872, discovered separately and patched by Volker.
The existing code in 7u writes an integer to a void* field which is a 64-bit big-endian long on some platforms.

The 8 changeset:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/2d/jdk/rev/4dd6f7bb8bbd

applies without change:

Previously reviewed by Phil on the 2d list:
