Problem description
===================
Class java.lang.SecurityException does not define serialVersionUID.
In jdk 1.5.0-beta-b07 due to fix of 4496095 (added 2 new constructors)
the signature of this class was changed. As a result serialVersionUID
was changed and causes the incompatibility with previous jdk builds.
Field 'private static final long serialVersionUID' should be defined
for this class with appropriate value 6878364983674394167L to avoid such
incompatibility.
