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,
