I'm trying to configure my Cisco ASA 5510 series firewall with the Java-based ASDM tool (version 6.1), but the tool crashes while connecting. I enter my credentials and it accepts them, downloads some kind of "update" from the firewall, and then hangs. Clicking the java icon button in the corner of the window brings up a status log window that ends with a stack trace; it seems to have encountered a runtime error converting something to a number. Am I missing something? Is this normal?

The easiest way to go about this is to download the latest ASDM from the cisco site and connect using that.
As far as I know, you can download the JAR from the ASA and run it manually (preferably with logging output), but I don't remember on top of my head where to find it on the asa.
I'm afraid it is not uncommon with ASDM :(
