When doing the SWAT testing on linux-ia64 OS, I found that the j2sdk-1_5_0-beta-bin-b30-linux-ia64-03_dec_2003.bin cannot be completely installed. The installation hangs on the following message:
-------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------
I also checked the .rpm bundle, it installed properly. Only .bin bundle has the install problem.

System tested:
1) encarta
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 2.9.5AS (Taroon)
Linux encarta 2.4.21-1.1931.2.399.ent #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 15:23:44 EDT 2003 ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux

2) prosignia
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
Linux prosignia 2.4.21-4.EL #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:29:39 EDT 2003 ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux

STEP TO REPRODUCE:
------------------
1. cd /net/mizu.sfbay/usr/re/jdk6/jdk1.5.0/bundles/linux-ia64/b30-2003-12-03
2. cd /root/temp
3. sh /net/mizu.sfbay/usr/re/jdk6/jdk1.5.0/bundles/linux-ia64/b30-2003-12-03/j2sdk-1_5_0-beta-bin-b30-linux-ia64-03_dec_2003.bin
4. watch the installation process and it would hang on
