With the current version string format, this should not happen unless the 
executable is somewhere else, environment variables are stripped, etc.

However, since this is a quick fix, a more reliable way to do this will be done 
along with  [JDK-8325914](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8325914).

The 3.38.0 was just an example of a different numbering convention, I can 
reproduce the issue on the 3.28.3 on OL7.9. So the lower limit is not known 
yet.  So this is intentional, as an urgent fix.
