[jetty-user] Double.parseDouble JVM bug

Given the popularity of this issue with Tomcat in the past few days, I
figured I would ask about it here. ( I didn't find anything in the
archive )

For anyone not following: you can read up on it here
http://www.exploringbinary.com/java-hangs-when-converting-2-2250738585072012e-308/
And the bug: http://bugs.openjdk.java.net/show_bug.cgi?id=100119

But basically Double.parseDouble("2.2250738585072012e-308"); gets in
an infant loop.

So for tomcat apparently this will hang the JVM:
curl -H “Accept-Language: en-us;q=2.2250738585072012e-308″ http://url

Are there any versions of Jetty effected this type of problem ?

Thanks,
-Brian
