Although i use liferay on glassfish for years now i have never seen this behaivior. I have used 6.0.5 and now run 6.1.0, so i have no 6.0.6 knowledge.
What i do know is that running this couple with OpenJDK on opensuse gave me very strange behaivior. Some options didn't work or gave extreme loadtimes.
I now use the oracle JDK and this gives the best performance in speed and useability.
If you did use openjdk and want to start with JDK make sure you delete all domain1/generated and tmp/liferay files. I forget that you will see even more strange behaivior.
Kind regards,
The out-side
