I believe the FreeBSD Foundation Java binary problem has to do with a partial 
library version bump in -CURRENT, where libc has been bumped, but other 
libraries haven't, and the binary depends on the old libc, which is presumably 
not compatible with the other newer libraries it's also pulling in.  The 
Foundation is not yet doing certified JDK/JRE builds for 7.x, although we will 
cut certified builds for 6.2.  I don't know what the right library version fix 
is for the base system -- Java is presumably not the only affected binary -- 
but it's not my area so that's ok. :-)
