GetJavaProperties has a stack-allocated fixed size buffer for holding a copy of a string returned by setlocale(3). However, there is no guarantee that the string will fit into this buffer.

This one is probably due to Solaris code being reused for Linux. The patch has been in IcedTea for a long while.

OK to push, OpenJDK 7 and 6?

Andrew.
