Fix Request I'd like to request a backport of this to jdk8u, to increase buildability on newer toolchains. The original patch does not import cleanly, because another issue [1] partially addressed the problem. There are two buffers that have the same use-out-of-scope issue. My patch addresses both buffers. I am not suggesting backporting the entire fix for 8160199, as it could involve a change in behaviour to user code.

"languageString" variable was used outside of its scope. It happens to work since it is allocated on the calling stack, and only used within the call.
