Bug#275547: String.intern() has a very low capacity (<64k)

[Jeroen van Wolffelaar <jeroen@wolffelaar.nl>]

I diffed woody's
gcc-<version>/gcc-<version>.tar.bz2/libjava/java/lang/natString.cc with
sarge's, and noticed that in java::lang::String::rehash(), two calls to
_Jv_AllocBytesChecked were replaced by calls to _Jv_AllocBytes (this was
the only change in that function).

Because the deadlock/livelock happend at a power of 2 (a roommate of
mine could reproduce it at 2^14 with gcj 3.4.1 on Mandrake on powerpc
(gcc-java-3.4.1-4mdk)), this is a very suspecious change, since
rehashing is generally done at powers-of-2.
