Specification excerpt:
======================
--------- J2SE API spec v.1.5 ---------
...
public static Level parse(String name)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException

Parse a level name string into a Level.

The argument string may consist of either a level name or an integer value.

For example:
"SEVERE"
"1000"

Parameters:
    name - string to be parsed

Returns:
    The parsed value. Passing an integer that corresponds to a known name
    (eg 700) will return the associated name (eg CONFIG). Passing an integer
    that does not (eg 1) will return a new level name initialized to that value.

Throws:
    NullPointerException - if the name is null

    IllegalArgumentException - if the value is not valid. Valid values are integers between
        Integer.MIN_VALUE and Integer.MAX_VALUE, and all known level names.
        Known names are the levels defined by this class (i.e. FINE, FINER, FINEST),
        or new levels defined by subclasses.

Problem description
===================
The designated method does not throw IllegalArgumentException with "unknown"
level name in case some level with such "unknown" name has been created before.
See demo.

This causes JCK testcase to fail in singleJVM mode:
api/java_util/logging/Level/index.html#Parse[Level2009]
    
Minimized test:
===============
------- J.java -------
import java.util.logging.*;

public class J extends Level {
    public J(String name, int value) {
        super(name, value);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("-----------");
        try {
            System.out.println( Level.parse("a") );
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        new J("a", 11);
        System.out.println("-----------");
        System.out.println( Level.parse("a") );
    }
}

------- end-of-J.java -------
