Hmm..well, that may be a bit too much of 'brushing off'. Whether or not is is a fault in Freenet itself or in the JVM/OS, ultimately, it changes nothing to the (proclaimed) fact that people can discover the original IP address. It may be low-level, and encryption may not be broken, but one of the main goals of Freenet is still based on plausable deniability, me thaught.
 
What he says may be completely FUD, but if it is true, then I don't think it does any good to say "Oh, but that ain't a freenet-bug, it's a JVM bug". That will be of little consolation to people who are using freenet.
