        There's a regression in the argument parsing code
        of the HotSpot which leads to a segmentation fault if an -XX option
        with an empty string argument (e.g. -XX:SyncKnobs= or
        -XX:SyncKnobs="") is given on the command line.

        The regression must have appeared somewhere in HS 11, because Java
        1.6.0_06 (which contains HS 10.0_b22) doesn't show the problem while
        both Java 1.6.0_10 (HS 11.0_b11) and Java 1.7.0-ea-b24 (HS 12.0_b01)
        as well as the latest OpenJDK snapshot (Rev. 292 with tag jdk7-b34)
        are affected.
