This bug has been copied from bug #1251560 and has been proposed to be backported to 6.7 z-stream (EUS).
Hello, I strongly suggest to NOT backport this bugfix. The fix delivered via 1254197 should be enough to fyx symptoms of this bug (the global fix ix much deeper and should go to rhel 7.3 )
Chris, may I ask you please to evaluate the zstream request and close this bug if we do not want to have this delivered via zstream ?
Hello Jiri and Jan, I tested the latest build from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217177#c49 with positive results for BZs 1217177 and this BZ.

It is coincidence that it is no longer visible. (And will not reappear for rhel 6 and any openjdk in case of java/javac links) But generally, the alternatives mechanism needs to be improved. Especially in rhel 7.
