Having now reviewed this, I can see it contains issues that were resolved
in the original review thread:

https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2020-April/011527.html

and doesn't deal with the cases worked around after this patch.

I'll revise my original patch and post it for review. This version is
a regression from that one.

Thanks,
