JDK 7 Mac Port Preview b217 Available

[Scott Palmer]

Interesting.. I wonder what these failing machines have in common?

My machine specs:
15-inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2010)
15-inch (1680 x 1050)
Processor  2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

$ /usr/libexec/java_home -v1.7 --exec java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-ea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b217)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

As I mentioned in the bug report.  It fails 100% of the time and always has.
