SUGGESTED FIX http://rain.ireland.sun.com/~ab23780/7050570/webrev/

EVALUATION We don't support setting the file.encoding property like this so this is technically an unsupported configuration. That said, the issue is the provider is using the default charset (based on file.encoding) rather than sun.jnu.encoding when encoding/decoding to/from bytes. It's too late to fix this in 7.
