Is this a symptom of the problem mentioned here:

  http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java

If so, given that this bug keeps popping up:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=568509
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496812

and will continue to do so until the JDK7 version that finally fixes it
gets widely deployed, perhaps the READMEs for the various Java packages
should have mention of the relevant fix, depending on the version of Java
in question (as per the awesome wiki page).

It would probably help if it was also mentioned on the Debian Wiki,
as at present it's not at all obvious what's causing this problem (at
least it took me ages to find the various places where it's mentioned).

Cheers, Phil.
