And just remembered that Keith has been trying to push through some
fixes from icedtea to openjdk:

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6593946
"ByteBuffer.compact() does not discard mark"
patches/icedtea-bytebuffer-compact.patch

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6593486
"IcedTea should use system tzdata instead of built-in db"
icedtea-use-system-tzdata.patch

Cheers,
