Hi all,

AbstractCollection.toArray(T[] ) might return a new array even if the given array has enough room for the returned elements when it is concurrently modified. This behavior violates the spec documented in java.util.Collection . This patch checks the size of returned array and copies the elements to return to the given array if it is large enough.

    The webrev is at :
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zhouyx/7121314/webrev.00/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ezhouyx/7121314/webrev.00/>

More compact and marginally faster:
 182             if (!it.hasNext()) { // fewer elements than expected
 183                 if (a == r) {
 184                     a[i] = null; // null-terminate
 185                 } else if (a.length < i) {
 186                     return Arrays.copyOf(r, i);
 187                 } else {
188 System.arraycopy(r, 0, a, 0, Math.min(++i, a.length()); // ensure null-termination
 189                 }
 190                 return a;
 191             }

There is a test case in the previous discussion. It is not included in the webrev, because the testcase is heavily implementation dependent. I will add it if it is requested.
I think, we should have a testcase for all 3 cases: fewer / equal / less 
elements than expected.
Additionally I think, the correct null-termination should be tested.

         Thread[] threads = new Thread[2];
         threads[0] = new Thread(new ToArrayThread());
         threads[1] = new Thread(new RemoveThread());
Why so complicated?
IMHO better:
        Thread toArrayThread = new Thread(new ToArrayThread());
        Thread removeThread = new Thread(new RemoveThread());
