Sounds heaps to me. Can't blame Blackdown for bugs in software they've not
even seen.
Mention to Sun the environments where you've produced the problem.

I think the script is just making sure your not mixing different releases
of java. If you know you're not, then you know the test isn't needed.
Mind you, anyone who's been programming more than a few days has seen
someone who "knows" something proven wrong. However, as it's working you
probably don't have a problem.
go win fame and infamy by telling Sun about their problem.
