Hi Gustavo,

thanks a lot for tracking this down!

The change looks good and I a can sponsor it once you get another
review from the build group and the FC Extension Request was approved.

In general I'd advise to sign the OCTLA [1] to get access to the Java
SE TCK [2] as this contains quite a lot of additional conformance
tests which can be quite valuable for changes like this.

Regards,
Volker
