Comment 5 for bug 600754

Matthias, this problem *only* exists in openjdk 6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu13 as published in jaunty-updates; I can confirm that rmid starts up without problem from the version of openjdk in the openjdk ppa, 6b18~pre4-1ubuntu1~jaunty2. Whatever is causing this failure is strictly brought on by the changes in http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43320995/openjdk-6_6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu12_6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu13.diff.gz .
I generated this bug report to record why I could not use the current jaunty version in generating a baseline for regression testing (and to have it available in case others ran across the issue).

Please don't disable the hardening defaults pre-emptively. It is quite likely that the update to 6b18 as necessitated by the firefox 3.6.6 update will address the issue as a side effect. Sorry for the confusion.
