I've further investigated the problem and found that it's reproducible on
IBM VM as well, but to reproduce it "-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1" option
should be added. Indeed, lineSeparator field in java.io.PrintStream is
changed:

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.io.PrintStream;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Field f = PrintStream.class.getDeclaredField("lineSeparator");
        f.setAccessible(true);
        System.out.println("separator[0] before encoding: " + ((String)
f.get(System.out)).getBytes()[0]);
        Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
        charset.encode("\u3400");
        System.out.println("separator[0] after encoding: " + ((String) f.get
(System.out)).getBytes()[0]);
    }
}

Output on J9:
separator[0] before encoding: 13
separator[0] after encoding: 26⌂

Output on DRLVM:
separator[0] before encoding: 13
separator[0] after encoding: 26→

The problem that '\u3400' is encoded differently in RI/Harmony is described
in http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3307, but the problem with
changing lineSeparator is new and separate.

Thanks,
Mikhail
