You're missing that the native Java port is based on 1.4.2.  Not 1.4.2_01,
1.4.2_02, 1.4.2_03, etc.

In particular we're based on the 1.4.2 SCSL code release, which was
released long before 1.4.2_06.  The "p6" simply signifies this is the
sixth set of patches we've released in the process of porting to FreeBSD.
