Very Computer

I can not get Java programs ("Starting Java..." at the status line, then
core dump) running in any version (FreeBSD or Linux, 4.06, 4.07 or 4.5b2)
on FreeBSD.

Anyone else have this prooblem, or is it just me?

export LC_CTYPE=C
export MOZILLA_HOME=/path/to/netscape/navigator/
export CLASSPATH=/path/to/netscape/navigator/java/classes/java40.jar:$CLASSPATH

(I didn't install by ports, just extracted the tar-file)

Well, all netscapes so far worked including 4.5b1, but on 4.5b2
Java doesn't run at all, but also it doesn't dump core on Java.

But here is some info:

If you look at the rest of it, you see it open all the Java files.
It seems when it starts the VM or so, when it is actually RUNNING the code
is when it core dumps.

 supported pixmap formats:
    depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32
    depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32
                             ^^ if this 24 or if your buttons are
monochrome, the pixmap format may not be supported by netscape/java

With 24/32, the only recent netscape/java problems I've had were
with netscape getting "unexpected async xlib event" or something
like that.  Netscape gets very confused when this happens.  So far,
I've only seen those with 4.06 and 4.5b1 when I had multiple browser
windows open (I'm currently running 4.07 [Linux] and 4.5b2 [FreeBSD]
on FreeBSD 2.2.5).  I'm guessing that this was a bug that was
introduced with the "New Event Model" for Java and JavaScript in
4.06, though I wasn't able to reproduce it on anything other than my
FreeBSD machine.

They all bus error or segment violate.

I have CLASSPATH and MOZILLA_HOME and the *.jar's, since if you do a
ktrace you can see it LOADING all the .jar's.  Plus the script that runs
netscape is like:

akira: {502} cat /usr/local/bin/netscape
#!/bin/sh
export MOZILLA_HOME; MOZILLA_HOME=${MOZILLA_HOME:=/usr/local/lib/netscape}
#export CLASSPATH ; CLASSPATH=.:$MOZILLA_HOME
export XKEYSYMDB; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
export XCMSDB; XCMSDB=/dev/null
export LC_CTYPE=C
export CLASSPATH=$MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes/java40.jar:$CLASSPATH
exec $MOZILLA_HOME/communicator-4.07.bin $*

I hate it when something fails that should not fail...
