RFC: JDK8u backport: 8235904: Infinite loop when rendering huge lines

[Mario Torre]

Hi all,

I would like to backport the following bug to 8u-dev:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8235904

It mostly applies cleanly, there's some changes however, since the
original code did have the casting in place so only one line is
actually changed:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~neugens/8235904-jdk8/webrev.00/jdk.changeset

Cheers,
Mario
