No, the problem is that libthr (and libpthread, libc_r probably
too) need a version bump but haven't been bumped yet.  That
will happen, but we need some more time to address some related
issues and whether all the other libraries need bumping too.
As always in -current, you may need to rebuild ports.  In this
case, you need to rebuild java so it will link to libc.so.7,
not libc.so.6.
