[erlang-patches] jinterface: workaround for a Java bug

[Vlad Dumitrescu]

Hi,

Ok, please refetch. I have rebased the branch on master, I hope it's
ok as R15A is out. The test is in a separate commit, so that you can
run it with the original jinterface if you want (to check that the bug
is there).

git fetch git://github.com/vladdu/opt.git java_string_bug

https://github.com/vladdu/otp/compare/java_string_bug
https://github.com/vladdu/otp/compare/java_string_bug.patch

regards,
Vlad
