Subject: ATTENTION: Java and SEGFAULTS

Hi,

I will try this one last time.

If you are getting seg-faults when using either java or javac upon startup
they are caused by incompatible shared libraries (99 times out of 100).

Before submitting a bug report try the following:

- remove libdl.so and libc.so from $JAVA_HOME/lib/xxx/green_threads/
where xxx is your machine architecture (i.e. i386, ppc, i586, etc)
