Thanks, please apply this patch to classpath.

I think its okay to add the testcase to Mauve. People who dont like the
5 second runtime can just disable the testcase and nut run it. We have
already testcases in mauve which take similar time to complete, some
even depend on a working network connection and some server of FSF or
RedHat available.
