Error messages:
Linux console window (from the tty controlling the process) displays the
following (I understand the font errors -- it's the last line of this that
counts):

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x7c)!

Nothing displays on the X server (the Windows 2000 box), and the java vm hangs
at this point until a Ctrl-C is issued to kill it.
