Comments
JDK-7144274 was sorted to 8 (see http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/fcdbd1f34309). So should this issue be closed as dup of JDK-7122846?

EVALUATION This issue had been taken care of in 7u4 (See 7144274). However, the fix has not been brought into 8 somehow. That fixed, this test will then fail due to 7122846.
