most recent updatemanager patches 121118-13/121119-13 use the command fragment 'java -version:1.5+' to launch the application, and some users on x86 are now experiencing a problem where the application fails to launch, see

updatemanager is not implicated in the underlying cause of the problem, but is serving to expose the issue -- the problem itself can easily be reproduced on x86 with the following piece of shell script

----
where HOME env var values of particular _length_ result in errors like
