OK, never mind. I've got jre-1.6.0_05-fcs installed again now, and all
is well. Now I remember what happened. Back on Aug. 8, yum was acting
all wonky and insisted that the java-1.6.0-openjdk update conflicted
with the jre package. I'm not seeing that conflict any more, and
jre-1.6.0_05-fcs coexists just fine with java-1.6.0-openjdk.
