Thank you for the report.  Unfortunately, I'm at a loss to fix this. The
driver is supplied pre-compiled by Oracle -- we used to compile it, long
ago, but then it grew some compatibility shims that meant bits of it
needed compiling with different JDKs, something that couldn't be
supported in the ports.  I guess it's time to try recompiling it
ourselves since java has moved on quite a lot since those days.  Give me
a while to test that please.

Given that it's basically a .jar file downloaded from the net and copied
into position, the OPTIONS_USET=NLS thing will have absolutely no effect
on mysql-connector-java itself

	Cheers,
