EVALUATION The main bug 6676462 was created for 1.5 JDK and there was big changes in 1.6 which fixed most of dead loops and replaced dead loop checks in Ideal() methods with asserts. This is why we need only asserts in HS14 to verify that the main changes (in 1.6) work correctly.

SUGGESTED FIX Add asserts with dead loop checks since it should be fixed in 1.6 with dead loops elimination changes.
