src/share/classes/java/lang/invoke/AdapterMethodHandle.java:

+        if (false && spreadArgCount > SPREAD_LIMIT)
+            return false;

+        if (false && slotCount + extractStackMove(target) > SPREAD_LIMIT)
+            return null;  // perhaps spreading a long[] array is going to push too much

Why are these turned off?

src/share/classes/java/lang/invoke/MethodHandleImpl.java:

+            assert(false);  //OBS

"OBS"?  Obsolete?

Otherwise looks good.
