I know. I consider it a bug, whether sanctioned by spec revisions
or not, and I am just obnoxious and stubborn enough to leave
the call in my apps and report the error (usually more verbose
and colourful). It's in the Bug Parade, and it is an annoying error
that prevents a native app from scrapping a JVM and invoking another
one, among other things.
