Okay, thanks. The patch will have to be submitted to JDK 9 first and then back- ported to earlier releases. Unfortunately it doesn't work on JDK 9. I don't know why: I spent some time looking at it, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Is there any way you could have a look? This is using hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs on F25. Thanks, Andrew.
