Specification excerpt:
======================
--------- J2SE API spec v.1.5 ---------
...
protected Handler()

       Default constructor. The resulting Handler has a log level of Level.ALL, no Formatter, and no Filter. A
       default ErrorManager instance is installed as the ErrorManager.
...
---------- end-of-excerpt ---------------

Problem description
===================
The behavior of the protected constructor java.util.logging.Handler()
contradicts with 1.5 API Doc. There is an unexpected SecurityException
when trying to create Handler's child without LoggingPermission("control").
 
    
Minimized test:

------- Test.java -------
import java.util.logging.*;
import java.security.*;;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
      System.setSecurityManager(new SampleSM());
      StubHandler h = new StubHandler();
    }
}

class SampleSM extends SecurityManager {
  public SampleSM() {
    super();
  }
  public void checkPermission(Permission perm) {
    if (perm.getName().equals("control")) {
      throw new SecurityException();
    }
  }
}

class StubHandler extends Handler {
  public StubHandler() {
    super();
  }
  public void close() {
  }
  public void flush() {
  }
  public void publish(LogRecord record) {
  }
}
