The following test shows that classic VM hangs invoking RuleBasedCollator
constructor:

//----------------------------- test.java ----------------------------//

import java.text.*;

public class test {

  public static void main(String argv[]) {

    String[][] values = {{"< c; C < y; Y < 5 < 2", "", "c", "C", "cC", "Cc"}};

    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        try {
            System.out.print("+");
            RuleBasedCollator r1 = new RuleBasedCollator(values[0][0]);
            RuleBasedCollator r3 = new RuleBasedCollator(values[0][0]);
            RuleBasedCollator r4 = new RuleBasedCollator(values[0][0]);
            RuleBasedCollator r5 = new RuleBasedCollator(values[0][0]);
            RuleBasedCollator r6 = new RuleBasedCollator(values[0][0]);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
  }
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------------//

The failure is reproducible under Linux RedHat 6.1 with Enlightenment window
manager.

JDK version is:
linux-10$ java -classic -version
java version "1.3.0rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0rc1-b12)
Classic VM (build 1.3.0rc1-b12, green threads, nojit)

JCK test api/java_text/RuleBasedCollator/descriptions.html fails due to
this bug.
