This is a bug in the JAAS login config file class. It is not thread safe and
when multiple login threads run at the same time it can produce the error
your seeing. I thought I added a synchronization that would prevent this
from happening. The workaround it to have a single thread force a
load of the login configuration file so that when the frames all try to
access secured beans they don't cause the ConfigFile to be loaded
by multiple threads.
