EVALUATION The fix is a superset of the fix put into 6u2. This fix also removes the handling of env. var. JAVA_COMPILER. This code has not been effective since 1.4.2 at least. The problem is that the code that handles JAVA_COMPILER env. var. sets the _java_compiler flag, but that code is not executed until AFTER the value of the _java_compiler flag has already been used.
