Very simple example of exception creating a
collation key for a spanish phrase. this worked
in all previous jdk versions.

try {
 // create spanish locale and collator
 Locale l = new Locale("es", "es");
 Collator col = Collator.getInstance(l);

 // this spanish phrase kills it!
 col.getCollationKey("Nombre De Objeto");
} catch (Exception ex) {
 // stack trace shown below
 ex.printStackTrace();
}
