segmentation fault of jdk 1.3.1-RC1 on linux (SuSE 7.1)

segmentation fault

I've installed jdk 1.3.1 RC1 on SuSE Linux 7.1 (Kernel 2.2.18 or 2.4.0 - doesn't
matter) with XFree86 4.0.3

I've tried both rpm-packages and .tar file.

Afer installation a "./java -version" only produces the output "segmentation fault"


(remark: the jdk 1.3.1 beta-b15 is working fine)

cannot run it: it just crashes at any launch.
it's java1.3.1ea

Downloaded the generic shell installer for Linux.
Installed it ona Linux SuSE 7.1.
Running java shows segmentation fault (even java -version).
Running java -classic is ok.

java -version creates the segmentation fault.

The same problem occurs when i try to start netbeans qithout -classic

I also got the message from the german java newsgroup that other people
have the same problem, they used a stock Suse Linux 7.1 with kernel 2.4.0
I'am using a self build kernel, not the one distributed with Suse.
I also made my glibc myself.

As a side note. I have no problem with any of: ibm jdk version, black
down versions or sun version with a a relase number lesser than 1.3.1

java -version segmentation faults, however,
java -classic -version returns this:

java version "1.3.1-rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-rc1-b21)
Classic VM (build 1.3.1-rc1-b21, green threads, nojit)

1. java -version (or any other commandline) for the -client, -server and
-hotspot JITs (-classic does not produce this bug)

2. none, java -version will do

3. none, the shell reports: Segmentation fault

java version "1.3.1-rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-rc1-b21)
Classic VM (build 1.3.1-rc1-b21, green threads, nojit)


Starting the java executable aborts immediately with a segfault. The classic
VM works, though.

Witnessed under glibc 2.2 on a SuSE Linux system. Segfaults under kernel
2.2.18 and 2.4.3.
