From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091323

Under RedHat Linux 7.1, the mozilla script fails to correctly detect the 
version of the Java plugin, causing the browser to hang because 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 isn't being set.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mozilla from RedHat 7.X RPMS
2. Install the Java plugin
3. $ sh -x mozilla http://java.sun.com/

Actual Results:  The mozilla script fails to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 before
starting mozilla-bin, which causes the Java plugin to fail.

The problem is that the script fragment to detect the version of the Java plugin
assumes that "cut" will be in the PATH; on RedHat Linux 7.1, cut is installed as
/bin/cut, instead of /usr/bin/cut.  Apparently /bin isn't in the search PATH, so
the fragment fails because it can't find "cut".  What's strange is that /bin is
in the path right before the test, but it fails, but symlinking /usr/bin/cut ->
/bin/cut clears up the problem.

This isn't resolved, since it isn't a duplicate.

Someone put code into the mozilla script to detect the older Java plugin, all I
was asking is that someone fix that code to correctly parse the Java version.

The cut path is hard coded into the java startup script.  That's part of Java,
not Mozilla.  I can't fix that.
