Java 7 screwup

[Mark Derricutt]

That would be the loop optimization bug which the Apache Lucene/Solr project discovered shortly before the release.

For the *REAL* story behind the bug in question, and the ensuing press reaction:

Personally, I'm wondering why the release didn't get pulled and a new release didn't get rolled disabling the optimizations.  ( I'm also actually really curious, what would it have taken for Oracle to pull the release if not something potentially as bad as this? ).
