Java Update breaks ASDM

So I updated Java today and then shortly after had a need to get into the ASDM.

Upon logging in to the ASDM launcher I get an error message:
"Unconnected sockets not implemented"

So there it is. If you are using JRE 6 Update 10 or Update 11 you may have issues - I tried both. You'll need to back up to JRE 6 Update 7. Hope that hopes someone else...

Looks like this is fixed in the following ASDM versions.
6.2(0.70)
6.2(0.71)
6.1(1.55)F
5.2(4.51)
6.1(5.51)

Go old school and use the CLI, problem solved.

ASDM is E-V-I-L

So Java + ADSM = Double Evil? Or do the two evils cancel each other out?

I'm thinking Java + ASDM = Darth Vader EVIL vs. just Stormtrooper EVIL?
