Ok, thanks Rama.  I didn't realise OpenJDK6 was getting a patch as well.

It would be helpful for us outside Sun if some of this was done
publicly in future.  I know that may not be possible with everything,
especially if there are some legal issues involved, but a 'heads up'
that some new code is on its way before it happens would be nice :)
