I noticed that Locale.getDefault is returning the wrong locale in JDK
1.7. It used to work fine. It is not returning USA even though my OS
is configured as Canada.
Here is an SSCCE

I wonder if someone with a non-US locale could try this. I would like
to know if the problem is with my copy of Windows 7 64-bit or with my
copy of the JDK.
