Starting java program with javaw: class gets locale from before the changes.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Starting java program with java: class gets correct (changed) locale from OS.
Starting java program with javaw: class gets correct (changed) locale from OS.
ACTUAL -
Starting java program with java: class gets correct (changed) locale from OS.
Starting java program with javaw: class gets locale from before the changes.
