RE: [jira] Created: (HARMONY-100) text/BidiWrapper issue?

["Fedotov, Alexei A" <al...@intel.com>]

Alexey (Ivanov), Alexey (Petrenko), All,

Could anyone please volunteer to resolve this issue
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-100)? Not only it has a
very nice number, but also blocks a fair amount of unit tests.

This shouldn't be incredibly hard - Tim added an excellent comment to
the issue description which contains an idea of a suggested fix.

With best regards,
Alexei Fedotov,
Intel Middleware Products Division
