Jeremy and Martin,

Thanks for the proposed fix. A couple of questions:

- This changeset is private to Google right now, correct? As in
  it hasn't made it into OpenJDK6 yet.
- Do you plan on pushing this changeset to OpenJDK6?
- What kind of testing has been done on it?

Thanks for the offer for the code. I'll start wading through the
diffs today. Because this is an escalated issue, I will likely
be taking just the code and comments directly related to the
problem at hand. The JavaDoc fixes, even though they are useful,
will have to wait for a different changeset.

Thanks for jumping in on this thread.
