I was completely unable to reproduce any instability on my system, using
either the i586 or x64 tarballs for jdk7.
As I asserted, these packages and operations are safe, and there's
information missing about what else was done on your system.
In addition, there is absolutely nothing in pkgadd or pkgrm or the
tarballs in question that should affect /var/pkg.
