Hi All,

I don't know how I missed this bug report when I made this one:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/685125

Anyway, there is a patch included in that one that solves the problem nicely.

The maintainers seem reluctant to include it in the distribution, because it isn't totally clear if patches to sunjava6 are allowed. I think they are based on the license saying that the README files contain the details about what can be and can't be patched, and based on the README content, however, I'm not a lawyer or the maintainer, so my opinion probably doesn't count.
