We try to always add a Sun Bug ID URL to any icedtea bugzilla entry. But
this is sometimes a little hard since it can take days (sometimes even
weeks) for sun bug ids to show up publicly. See the URL field of the
bugzilla entry. (I just added a couple.)

After a quick look the following bugzillas/bugids seem relevant:

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6598089
Netbeans modal dialogs won't properly close. Confirmed fixed in 6.

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6575880
Float.toString(float) adds trailing zeros

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6573250
java.util.Currency.getSymbol(Locale) returns wrong value when locale is
not US.

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6576055
Integer.parseInt(String) should not accept just '+'

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373
xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion 'c->xlib.lock' failed.
For which there doesn't seem to be IcedTea bug (bad us).

Cheers,

Mark
