Java Release            : 6u4p
Java Builds             : b01
VM flavors              : server
VM Modes                : -Xmixed
Java flags              : -XX:+AggressiveOpts
Platform(s)             : solaris-sparc, solaris-sparcv9
Hostnames with OS info  : vm-t2000-01, nanonano (Solaris 10)

So, the failure is reproduced only on solaris-sparc/v9, with 
-server -Xmixed -XX:+AggressiveOpts or
-d64 -server -Xmixed -XX:+AggressiveOpts

The failure is not reproduced with 
- -Xint, -Xcomp
- without -XX:+AggressiveOpts
- on linux, sol-x86/amd, windows
- latest jdk7 (b23)
- latest jdk6u4 (b09)
- with rt.jar from latest 6u4 (b09) 

Running the tests with latest jdk6u4b09 but with jvm copied from 6u4p01 results in tests failure. So, the problem is 6u4p specific and is in HotSpot

Test cases: 
 java/lang/Character/Supplementary.java
 java/lang/String/Supplementary.java
 java/lang/StringBuffer/Supplementary.java
 java/lang/StringBuilder/Supplementary.java

N/A

This a latent bug in the encoding for cmove with unsigned compares in sparc.ad.  Code for folding compares as part of autobox elimination created opportunites to use these instructions.  It appears they hadn't been used before.
