Wrong locales in JDK 1.6 (patchset 3)

[Nick Johnson]

I get the same output as you with my build of JDK 1.6 p3.  I get the 
expected output with similar code on my Windows box.  I also get the 
expected result if I remove references to sun.util.LocaleDataMetaInfo and 
compile and run it with my old JDK 1.5... so it looks like a flaw in the 
1.6p3 build.
