JDK-6295525 - Finalization problem in sun.awt.color.ICC_Transform
Description
BACKGROUND

JRockit includes a few patches of the JDK. In order to simplify the JRockit JDK updating process, we want to move as many as possible of these to the Java SE JDK.

PROBLEM

We had a customer who ran into sun bug 6295525 in 1.5.0 (see bug for problem and reproducer). This bug has been fixed in 1.6.0, but included some native fixes. To make things easier for us we did our own solution of simply making an extra call that kept the ICC_Transform[] alive until the end of the constructor.

Taking the 1.6.0-fix back to 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 would probably be the easiest solution here.

AFFECTED VERSIONS: 1.4.2, 1.5.0
