DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

In profile I set export LC_ALL=ru_RU.cp1251

When I run java I get the following error message:

Error occured during initialization of VM
java.lang.NullPointerException

LC_ALL=ru_RU.koi8r works fine
IBM JDK 1.3.0 works fine too
ru_RU.cp1251 locale exists
and was generated:
localedef -c -i ru_RU -f CP1251 ru_RU.CP1251

locale -a | grep ru
ru_RU
ru_RU.cp1251
ru_RU.koi8r
russian
ru_UA
