I committed this yesterday morning:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/hotspot/rev/012339cadcba

I'm currently working on getting IcedTea6 building with my hg
checkout, and will push this to my personal branch:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/people/andrew/icedtea6
when I'm done.  There are a lot of patches that are now redundant :)

Are all the recent security patches in JDK6 hg?

Thanks,
