Oops, must've missed this question before. I'd say in general they
should be quite similar, but there are obviously exceptions (zile is
one).
I'm not sure why it was omitted.

Also - I've found an issue with running OpenJDK in the latest upstream git:

root@server-75e0210e-4f99-4c86-9277-3201ab7b6afd:/root# java

[thread 274902467056 also had an error]# A fatal error has been
detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

This is openjdk-7-jre-headless, version 7u51-2.4.5-1ubuntu1. I'm not
sure what debug info would be useful here, but let me know and I can
collect it.
