This version of the sun jdk (or any for that matter) does not work with a 
gcc-3.x compiled mozilla. There are three options:
1) compile mozilla (and galeon) with gcc-2.95.3
2) use the latest blackdown jdk which IS gcc-3.2 compatible
3) compile sun java yourself. The package is called sun-j2sdk.

I personally do 1 because at the time I set it up the blackdown jdk was not 
available for gcc-3.2 yet. Option 3 is rather complex so I believe it is not 
a good solution either. Option 2 is probably the best solution.
