Small addition: disabling SMP makes JRE 6 much more stable, but it
still crashes anyway. No visible behavior changes for 1.5 - memdumps
just on call.

On the other hand, I get wip/jdk16 working, and it's quite stable
(successfully running about 20 minutes and got no faults :-)

    $ java -version

    4.99.68, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

Attached quick and dirty patch and the following build and install
commands was used:

    $ make PKG_JVM_DEFAULT=sun-jdk6 _ONLY_FOR_PLATFORMS.sun-jdk6=\* \
	ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=\* CLASSPATH= JAVA_HOME=
    ...
    $ make PKG_JVM_DEFAULT=sun-jdk6 _ONLY_FOR_PLATFORMS.sun-jdk6=\* \
	ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=\* CLASSPATH= install    # yes, without JAVA_HOME

However, installation wasn't went smoothly (but I don't care on this
stage). FYI:

I have /usr/pkg/java/jdk-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/server directory instead,
and it misses classes.jsa file. BTW, what is the difference between
server and client versions?

Dunno what action I have to do further. From my understanding at least
we can add x86_64 (amd64 in terms of JDK) to list of officially
supported platforms by JDK on pkgsrc.
