**Other Notes**
- Most, if not all, troubles with the JDK seg-faulting or
aborting on Linux x86 are really the result of old/incompatible
sets of shared libraries being used. If you run into these
troubles, please check out the FAQ available from:
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html
- The libc5 version of jdk116_v4a was built on a Debian 1.3.1
machine running Motif 2.0.1 with gcc-2.8.1, and the glibc
version was built on a RedHat 5.0 machine running SWiM
Motif 2.1 with egcs-2.91.41.
- Some problems with Motif and TextFields can be worked around
by pre-Loading libBrokenlocale.so before invoking java. See
the Blackdown Java-Linux Mailing list archive for more info
- Please check out the README.linux release notes. For help,
