Public bug reported:

With openjdk-6-jre-headless=6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu13 installed, the Java RMI
Activation System Daemon rmid fails to start with a
NullPointerException, like so:

$ rmid -J-Dsun.rmi.activation.execPolicy=none
Activation.main: an exception occurred: java.io.IOException: log recover failed with exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
java.io.IOException: log recover failed with exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.rmi.log.ReliableLog.recover(ReliableLog.java:226)
	at sun.rmi.server.Activation.startActivation(Activation.java:218)
	at sun.rmi.server.Activation.main(Activation.java:2057)

Using the version originally released with jaunty, openjdk-6-jre-
headless=6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7, rmid starts successfully as invoked above.

This failure causes several of the TCK runtime tests to fail.
