JFileChooser crashes JVM - bug basically ignored. What can I do?

See:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7160713

The bug has been marked as incomplete,needs more info, and "Low Prioroty" - Yet there is no mechanism to provide any more information. There is no way to add comments, or vote. The bug brings down the entire JVM with a native crash and it is trivial to reproduce.

I would provide any information that is asked of me - but I need a way to do it. I think I got an email request for info (It's been a while now), but replies to the email bounced, and as noted above the bug page has no way to give feedback.

Use any JFileChooser, click on the "Details" view. Then start clicking on column headings... after a few clicks the JVM crashes. Tested again with 7u6 - still crashes.
