Original fix is now in 6u38 but it's not a critical fix. defer to 6u40

Looks like a bad merge of the fix into the 6u38 repo. (jar files should *never* be merged without a thorough understanding of what's being done) pwd : /net/v245-sus.ie/suspool/home/sean/6u38/j2se/make/tools/crypto/jgss Looks like a bad merge : v245-sus $hg log jgss_kerberos.jar | more changeset: 875:e511993404d8 parent: 870:b0631ee8b7e3 parent: 874:291214d00d97 user: asaha date: Wed Oct 10 15:37:23 2012 -0700 summary: Merge changeset: 868:46dd1fc4d64e user: mbankal date: Tue Oct 09 11:36:08 2012 -0700 summary: 7158329: NPE in sun.security.krb5.Credentials.acquireDefaultCreds() revision 875 reverts the jar file back to Aug 30th class files while revision 868 which contained the fix has classes build on Sept 27th. we should bring the new jgss jar file back into the repo.

All I can tell is that the class file in the build does not match the source file updated by JDK-2230616. But on the other hand, the JDK-2230616 page shows it's resolved in b03. If I understand correctly that the "resolved" here means the fix is already inside the b03 build, then it seems there is a problem in the build process.

need more info from development before we can decide that it is a build process issue or test issue

can't understand from the comments. If this fix will be shown in the next build, there is no reason to defer it. If this is a build process issue, it must be fixed. Based on that I would say we can't defer this issue

7-na added. My understanding is that this is just a build problem, either the build is not from the latest source, or there is a problem in the build process, and until someone confirms it I cannot be sure which one it is. Having said that, it's only in 6 that JGSS is compiled separately into its own jars and then merged into rt.jar. Therefore it should be quite safe to say this problem should not apply to 7.

Should this have the 7-na label?
