This has been fixed for icedtea6 so I borrowed the patch (not sure if this is appropriate) and put into a the attached bbappend that fixes the problem. I went with a bbappend as I wasn't sure of the process for patching a recipe. Resulting JVM seems to work for my application.

Check the current patchset which Hugo has sent (now in Cc) as I think
this address the issue you had.

Lack of manpower.
