> Methods
> java.util.Properties.getProperty(String) and
> java.util.Properties.getProperty(String, String) call method get(Object) inherited from Hashtable instead of super.get(Object).
> In some circumstances this can cause issues if some subclass of Properties will override get(Object) a certain way. I.e. if subclass.get(Object) calls getProperty(String) jvm fails with StackOverflow which is not reproducible on JRockit. See demo.
