      Using build 74 the system crashes in strcmp(), called from JAVA_G, when there
      are 11 or more entries in jvm.cfg. The previous statement in jvm.cfg that
      there is a limit of 10 entries is no longer present and the previous warning
      that entries past 10 will be discarded does not occur.

      Problem reproduces on both windows 2K and solaris_sparc, probably on other
      platforms as well.
