Thanks, Naoto. An automated test run looked fine, so I've pushed this change.

Hi,

Please review my change to prevent a startup crash on earlier versions of MacOS.

    Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8187772
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8187772/webrev.00/

When a non-default currency is set in the Language & Region control panel, it's reflected as a variant in the locale identifier string. For example, "en_US@currency=RUB" for U.S. English using the Russian rubles currency.

convertToPOSIXLocale() is not expecting such variants, nor such a long string.  The result is a SEGV from memmove() on line 161.  (Additional details are in the bug report.)

The fix truncates the string passed to convertToPOSIXLocale() before any '@'-denoted variant tags.

FWIW, the crash only happens on MacOS 10.10 and earlier because later versions of MacOS always return a region along with the language (line 65), so we don't need to query the locale identifier (line 84) to determine the region (hyphenPos is never NULL on line 82).

Thanks,
-Brent
