I object to adding the patch - We cannot start a tradition of
compensating for broken software that uses hidden interfaces.  Apps are
going to hit this problem on all major arch's.  Certainly wine[x] is
working on a patch.  I believe all of the new JDKs out there work fine. 
Bigloo is the only other program we've had complaints for.

Tks,
