The change looks good to me.
Thanks for spotting this and jumping on it so quickly.

There's a small problem with the fix for JDK- 8019834 that was pushed to
jdk8/tl today. The patch means that UHE is thrown when doing a lookup of
hosts that start with a-f. I ran into it because I happen to be on a
machine that starts with "a" :-)
I'd like to get a patch into jdk8/tl quickly so that others don't run
into this. The proposed patch is attached.
