and so in 7u12-b01 (and b02 of course).

There are hundreds of fixes in b01, I'm not sure why they aren't listed

work around for appbundler or webstart. For standalone apps then you can 
set the appropriate locale.

I just checked and it turns out to be just bad timing (some maintenance 
going on at bugs.sun.com at the moment, should be up to date later today).
