JDK 6 and linux

Question

I have just watched the bug report http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6972329 so I want to ask... Is there a JDK upgraded version which handles the problem? Because if I develop an app with 32-bit JDK 6 will it work on 64-bit linux? I have compiled my project with jdk 1.6.0_05 so I am not sure will it work for 32 or 64 bit linux ... won't it be the user.home as '?'

Thanks

The bug has absolutely nothing to do with the JDK used to compile Java code - Java bytecode is completely platform independant. The bug only occurs when you run a Java app on a 32bit JVM on a 64bit Linux, and even then it seems to depend on a specific (and possibly faulty) LDAP configuration.
