    Description

      RAFContainer.privGetRandomAccessFile() catches and unwraps PrivilegedActionExceptions raised in the privileged code:

      catch( PrivilegedActionException pae)

      { throw (StandardException) pae.getException(); }

      The problem is that the privileged code is this:

      case GET_RANDOM_ACCESS_FILE_ACTION:

      { return actionFile.getRandomAccessFile("rw"); }

      // end of case BACKUP_CONTAINER_ACTION

      getRandomAccessFile() only has one checked exception, and that is FileNotFoundException. If it ever happens to raise FNFE, privGetRandomAccessFile() will fail with a ClassCastException and hide the underlying error.
