16 from the IcedTea project) used by some old Java applications like Jeti/2.

22 machines (Odin bug).
23

25 Jeti/2) when throwing NullPointerException as a result of accessing null
26 objects of some application classes (Odin bug).
27
28 - Fixed: java.util.prefs.Preferences: Use the Open32 registry on OS/2 instead
29 of throwing an exception.

35

57 "Could not reserve enough space for object heap" error message.
58
59 - Fixed: java.io.File.mkdirs() wouild always fail which would in particular
