Hi Alan,

thanks. I have updated the webrev in place.
The updated webrev looks good.

As for documentation/bugids: I found that one: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/compatibility-417013.html. However, the text in there seems not to be quite correct (any more) as it talks about bugLevel could be set to "1.4", "1.5" or "1.6" - which you can do but obviously has no effect. And the referenced bug (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6621689) does not talk about "sun.nio.ch.bugLevel". Are you aware of any more information that I can use for the CSR?

The first part of this JDK 7 release note looks right but I don't know why it documents that the bugLevel property that can configured to restore old behavior. I suspect (but not certain) that it has been mixed up with another change.
