Hi!

Please review the fix for CR: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7188708

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bagiras/7u10/7188708.1/

The reason is that isFlushingPendingEvents in SunToolkit.flushPendingEvents() is reset after the first recursive call of flushPendingEvents(). Thus, if there are several pending events in PostEventQueue, recursion would be rejected only for the first event, allowing nested call of PostEventQueue.flush() after.

To resolve the problem I added the counter "flushNestingLevel" instead of the flag "isFlushingPendingEvents". It's increased each time entering SunToolkit.flushPendingEvents() and decreased on exit. So, PostEventQueue.flush() method is called only when we enter SunToolkit.flushPendingEvents() for the first time within one thread.

That fix was prepared ONLY for 7u10. For JDK 8 the fix for "CR7186109 - Simplify lock machinery for PostEventQueue & EventQueue" should cover this case.

Thanks, Oleg
