-Djava.security.manager=problems for service providers

Tue Mar 27 13:06:00 UTC 2018

Moving this to security-dev.

 From the stack trace, it looks like you are using JDK 8 or older. There 
are several changes in JDK 9 and newer in the PolicyFile code to how it 
loads its resources that may help with the issues you are seeing.
