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)

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?
