      See JDK-8176834 - the test to create a MANIFEST.MF with the sequence "Multi-Release: true\rOther: value" fails to recognize that the value of Multi-Release should be the string "true"
      It also fails to recognize that if the next line after a value starts with a SPACE then it's to be considered a continuation of the value, so it wrongly recognizes "Multi-Release: true\n true" as meaning Multi-Release has the value "true"
