 jre-1.5.0-13 doesn't work either. See http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6465

 I'm a bit frustrated. Apologies up front if that leaks out between the
 lines. I've been banging my head against this problem all morning.

 As a first step, someone ought to document that the java plugin for the
 browser doesn't work... not just jre-6u3. Can anyone confirm that the java
 browser plugin has _ever_ worked?

 As a second step, it'd be nice if someone could look into making the java
 browser plugin work instead of stopping at documenting that it doesn't.


 Info on the symbol _ZTVN10__cxxabiv121__vmi_class_type_infoE can be found
 in the Linux Foundation LSB Database Navigator:
 https://www.linux-foundation.org/dbadmin/browse/int_single.php?cmd=list-
 by-name&Istd=87&Iname=_ZTVN10__cxxabiv121__vmi_class_type_infoE

 Which shows that it is part of libstdc++.so.6... Which is where I stop,
 scratch my head and hope that someone knows what this means, because I'm
 all out of ideas.

 Perhaps the problem isn't with Sun Java... but with a non-LSB compliant
 libstdc++ that the OLPC is providing?
