A debian specific patch would be necessary.
But this crash is not a debian-specific bug. The bug here is that jython causes kaffe to crash on startup *after* all of the required classes have been found - it has nothing to do with the library path. Kaffe already searches in /usr/lib/jni by default. The jython startup script however still adds /usr/lib/jni to the search path because some other JVMs are still broken. This causes kaffe to crash because it can't find its own bootstrap classes (#207998). This is not the crash we are talking about here. Kaffe doesn't need this addition to the JNI path, since it already searches /usr/lib/jni. So you can just take the path extension out of the jython startup script and we can avoid #207998 completely. Therefore kaffe should start with no problems. This is where this crash comes up. Once you have kaffe finding all of the JNI libraries that it should (including the ones used with jython and the kaffe bootstrap classes), it then crashes with 'e->start_pc <= e->end_pc' failed. So this is definitely a kaffe issue, not a debian-specific issue or a JNI path issue. (Marking this bug important since it causes a complete JVM crash.)
