The following code:

import java.io.*;

public class Test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

     try
     {
        PrintStream errPrintStream = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("std.out"));

        System.setOut(errPrintStream);

        for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
        {
           System.out.println("\nHello File World!!!");
        }
        errPrintStream.close();

        System.setOut(System.out);

     }
     catch(Exception e)
     {
        System.out.println("SOMETHING WENT WRONG");
     }

     for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
     {
        System.out.println("\nHello Outside World!!!");
     }
  }
}
-------
Sends "Hello File World!!!" to std.out while "Hello Outside World!!!" is never printed at all. Removing ".close()" call results printing
of both greetings to a file. However, after a seemingly irrelevant change and running this code with "-nojit" option results in
expected outcome:
-------
import java.io.*;

public class Test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

     try
     {
        PrintStream outPrint = System.out;

        PrintStream errPrintStream = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("std.out"));

        System.setOut(errPrintStream);

        for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
        {
           System.out.println("\nHello File World!!!");
        }
        errPrintStream.close();

        System.setOut(outPrint);

     }
     catch(Exception e)
     {
        System.out.println("SOMETHING WENT WRONG");
     }

     for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
     {
        System.out.println("\nHello Outside World!!!");
     }
  }
}

-------
NOTE: Both 1.1.7 and 1.2 produce the same error. Accept I found no way to set JIT off in 1.2.
-------

If I missing something I would really appreacite it if you could point it out to me. Otherwise I will assume this is a bug.

Good day!!!
