Still a problem after today's IcedTea and JRE updates. The particular
site in question is https://blrscr3.egs-seg.gc.ca - a Canada Revenue

Karmic.

It recognizes Java as being installed, but keeps returning to the
username/password page rather than continuing to the next login stage.

This is already working in openjdk mercurial as described here:
