Given that Java 6 has been EOL'd by Oracle for almost a year (Feb 2013, as announced in Feb 2011), and it's on an operating system they don't even know about, your bug report will most likely be ignored. Sorry you wasted time there. Given the situation with Java 6 being broken, it would probably make sense to work on correcting/updating apps to work on Java 7. Java 8 is just around the corner, btw. March 2014.
