and what version of the java plugin are you using?  did you read the 1.4rc2
release notes?

Comment 2

[Jim Hazen]

From About Plug-ins
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2-beta-b19

File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2

Release notes say this is the supported version right?

Doesn't crash when run as root.

My bad.  This is indeed a plugin problem.  While Sun's 1.4.2 beta plugin is
supported, you have to make sure you're actually symlinking to the gcc3.2
version, duh.

FYI, if anyone else is running into this error, make sure you're pointing to the
correct Sun 1.4.2beta plugin.
