Installed Mozilla 1.4, then when going to a page with Java, acknowledged the
prompt for a needed plugin and installed the Java plugin.  Installation reported
success.  Restarting Mozilla reports:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Mozilla
2.Install Java plugin
3.Get error on console

Actual Results:  
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library

well (two out of two failures).
