Yes, inserting System.err.prinln() into java/security/Security.java,
I got:

loadProviders loading: file:///path-to-kaffe/jre/lib/security/Kaffe.security
loadProviders caught java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such file or directory
loadProviders loading: file:///path-to-kaffe/jre/lib/security/java.security
loadProviders caught java.io.IOException: Inappropriate ioctl for device
loadProviders loading: file:///path-to-kaffe/jre/lib/security/classpath.security
loadProviders caught java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such file or directory

So the cause of error is "java.io.IOException: Inappropriate ioctl for device".

This is my simplified test case:

$ cat URLTest.java 
import java.io.*;
import java.net.URL;
public final class URLTest
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    String filestr = args[0];
    try
      {
        System.err.println("loading: " + filestr);
        InputStream fin = new URL(filestr).openStream();
        BufferedReader reader =
          new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fin, "ISO-8859-1"));
          String line;
          while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
            {
            }

      }
    catch (IOException e)
      {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }

  }
}
$ path-to-kaffe/bin/java URLTest file:///path-to-kaffe/jre/lib/security/java.security
loading: file:///path-to-kaffe/jre/lib/security/java.security
java.io.IOException: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Using URL here seems to be significant.  Changing the test program so that
it uses FileInputStream instead of URL.openStream(), I got no exception.
