Package: openjdk-6-jre
Version: 6b24~pre2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Seeing as Sun Java is going to be removed, some bugs that only happened with OpenJDK 6
have risen importance.

More precisely, when I try to run a program called Kernow (which was used by this year's
massive educational experiment by Stanford's class on Databases), I get two different
behaviors with the program shipped from
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernowforsaxon/files/latest/download>:

* with sun java 6, after unpacking 'Kernow 1.7.2.zip' and running sh ./Kernow.sh, I can
  run it and it works fine, as expected.

* with openjdk 6, doing the same thing doesn't work: only the splash screen is presented
  and it sits there loading forever.

I took the time to take a look at the strace of the program and it seems that openjdk is
stuck waiting for a mutex and not getting anywhere.

Any hints for this case? I would love to switch over to OpenJDK for good, but there are
some things that still don't work well (or don't work at all).


Thanks for any help,

Rogério Brito.
