No. I just came over this code while merging GNU Classpath with the
Aicas code, where we did even worse stuff at this point. If you think
this is bad, I will reverse my patch. Especially in the light that this
method is deprecated with the statement 'it doesn't work correctly' in
the JDK, this will not matter much anyway.
