Colin, thanks a lot for your research; I'm not too surprized the problem
was already known and the change is intrusive; I hope it will make it
upstream soon, I understand why we wouldn't want a too intrusive patch
in the Ubuntu tree before it's upstream -- especially not for hardy.
Thanks for looking into it!

Bug description:
Hi,

When running java from openjdk-6-jre-headless with an unionfs-ed /, it fails to append the proper library path to locate the libs it needs.

10:48 < StevenK> The problem is this:
10:49 < StevenK> java reads /proc/self/exe and comes up with the full path, 
                 including the bits that are hidden under unionfs, like 
                 /squashmnt or /persistmnt, and returns 
                 /squashmnt/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
10:50 < StevenK> java then looks for it's libraries in 
                 /squashmnt/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib, and can't find 
                 them.

Adding /squashmnt -> / and /persistmnt -> / symlinks works around the issue.

This typically affects UME and live CDs.

Bye,
