When kernel developers violate POSIX standards and break the JVM (and other applications not yet reported), it's a bug. Can't justify it or make excuses. Apple really fucked up here.

Linus Torvalds has a policy: "WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!". You just don't release stupid changes like this in a kernel. I'm sure the team at Apple are not pleased that this bug got into production.

Specially when changing that just on the last, final, release.
