As I said in the original mail, this is beyond the scope of this patch. 
Yes, we know this is kicking the can down the road and maybe some day 
there will be a locale on one of the supported platforms where this 
becomes an issue. The other point is that sun.jnu.encoding is completely 
internal to JDK, nobody should ever be setting it (same thing goes for 
file.encoding too but clearly people do seem to try that).
