Until we fix it, you might be able to
   mount --bind  /afs/.athena/software/java_v1.1.6 /mit/java_v1.1.6
It's not quite the same semantics, though.

Mail on every ticket update goes to debathena@; you've just been added to 
this list. Also, I think anyone can log in with MIT certificates, edit the 
ticket, and add their e-mail to the Cc field.

There's also zephyr on each ticket update to -c debathena, and occasional 
discussion about them on zephyr.
