This version of the jdk dies much earlier. ktrace shows that it loads the 
libraries, does a lot of mallocs and then SIGSEGV. It did not even get as
far as trying to read the class files. Ther must be something incompatible 
between the system this is built on and my -current system. 

Without source, or even debugging info in the executable I can't get any
further. 

(I ran ktrace on the <jdk>/bin/i386/java binary)
