Security fixes are back; other fixes can go in. Time for build 18?

I suspect the build issue is that the JDK 7 Werror checking is more 
stringent than the OpenJDK 6 error checking and the OpenJDK 6 sources do 
not have the fixes necessary to build under JDK 7 using Werror although 
they do build under OpenJDK 6 with Werror.
