EVALUATION http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hotspot-main/jdk/rev/92d2cba30f08 Technical discussion of the fix may be found here: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/mlvm-dev/2011-September/003930.html This bug is mainly a performance bug, due to the use of a global table (keyed by Class) instead of a direct link (from a non-public field in Class). The global table also introduces race conditions, at least potentially, when mapping from a new Class key to a stable root for the Class's ClassValue set.
