Hi Alan, sorry, that's all my fault. You're right that the issue was originally a P4. It was already reviewed back in May but unfortunately I forgot to sponsor/push it as promised. Because this turned out to be essential to support Japanese/Chinese encodings on AIX I've increased it to P3 in order to still bring it into 11. I really apologize for the trouble. -Volker PS: the fix is out for review..

Not clear why JDK-8202329 was pushed to jdk/jdk11 as it was a P4. Now that it has, then this test fix needs to be pushed to jdk/jdk11 too.
