I think this is an excellent idea.
We used to have code in the libjava test suite for this case. I'm not
sure if it still works or not -- I suspect it bit-rotted from disuse.
Which brings me to my point... I think a patch like this is best
followed up by an autobuilder which exercises it regularly.
Otherwise, I'd imagine this code will break just as the libjava code
did.
