I didn't commit it to icedtea since I assumed I would be committing it to OpenJDK7/8 anyway (and icedtea would get it on the next sync). And I didn't commit it to OpenJDK7 because only critical fixes were being accepted. Then I guess this patch fell off my radar when 7u/8 forests were created.

Yes, I can see the reasoning, but in retrospect, it seems a good idea to add patches to IcedTea straight away so they don't get lost, should review take a while for some reason (and they have to go through two to reach 6 or 7).

It's trivial to merge the two when they do come in.
