Where is this peculiar requirement stated?  No proper
specification would make any such requirement (not to
suggest that Java has a proper specification) - most
standards have an "as-if" rule:  The implementation must
behave *as if* it used the specified algorithm or code,
but as long as no valid program can tell the difference,
the implementation is free to use some other algorithm.
