    Subject: RMI Security Manager Bug

According to the RMI spec, "Only if a security manager is in force will
stubs be loaded from either the local machine or from a network source."
(See C:\jdk\docs\guide\rmi\spec\rmi-server.doc.html#1638 and #1639.)

I've got code that runs fine over both the local machine and a network
source with no Security Manager. (Nothing fancy, just an RMI hello world.)

Seems like a bug in the implementation of RMI.
