[Bug classpath/31012] New: NumberFormat parse() fails to parse currency strings

[colin dot green at focus-solutions dot co dot uk]

E.g. When in the "en-GB" locale (The UK):

-------------------------------
Number Format nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(); // For the default
locale.

// Sometimes necessary, but not relevant to the problem.
Currency currency = Currency.getInstance("GBP");  
nf.setCurrency(currency);

// Format a string. This is ok.
String s = nf.format(1234.56); // Results in "£1234.56"

// Now parse the string.
Number num = nf.parse(s);

-------------------------------

It looks like some work has been done in this area because in 0.93 the result
is NaN. In 0.90 an exception is thrown.
