Hello,

Thank you everyone for the feedback, I've incorporated the recommendations
into a new revision:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~allwin/7162400/webrev.02/

Changes:
 - Fixed speling misteaks
 - Added jtreg regression test using Mikael's excellent suggestion of
-XX:+PauseAtStartup, tested locally on linux and solaris.
 - Reverted use of MAX_PATH+1 vs. UNIX_MAX_PATH


Also thanks to Christian Törnqvist for helping out with the jtreg test!
