what happened to JDK-8187450 (JNI local refs exceeds capacity warning in NetworkInterface::getAll)

[Jonathan Dowland]

Hi folks,


We have some interest in fixing (and then backporting) JDK-8187450.
Looking at the bug, there's a patch posted in a comment but no webrev or
RFR, etc.

    <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8187450>

I've had a look at applying the patch to current HEAD and it only
requires minor reworking. Before I go any further, I was wondering if
there was any non-obvious reason why this wasn't pursued already?


Thanks,
