I can mirror Robert's comments on this bug. It seems like the openjdk upstream bug that I think corresponds to this issue [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573742] was just closed last night at targetted at 6b18~pre3.1, so I doubt that this issue has been truly fixed until that update makes it downstream.

I'm also running in a virtual box environment. The fact that Javier's repo update in Message #6 solved it for so many people makes me wonder if there is another transient package or dependency that is causing the root problem with this bug.
