You are right: with the command above, the Java applet works perfectly.
Hence I believe the bug lies in the applet (should be more permissive with the
kernel numbering) and not in the kernel.
As far as I am concerned, the bug can be closed. Thank you. I will (try to)
open a bug with the bank

PS. How did you get the idea that the problem was related to the kernel
version number?
