The patch is mentioned in
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6761791>, which was fixed in:
changeset: 2369:b58cdc0321f5
user: igor
date: Wed Dec 17 22:00:37 2008 +0300
summary: 6761791: Crash in the FontManager code due to use of JNIEnv saved by another thread
I don't think the Debian patch is necessary anymore.
