I picked up the following message from the mailing list:

I am having the exact same problem. I still haven't managed to solve
it. If you have solved it by now, let
me know. I heard a recommendation that a new version of
glibc needs to be installed. I think its quite risky to
blindly install such a fundamental library. I would much sooner
install a patch if indeed this is the problem. Another thing that was
recommended was that I remove the linux libraries from the green
threads directory. I did this but still it didn't work. I figured the
Java compiler might be missing a library, so I hacked the script to do
an ldd on the actual executable - all libraries are found.
I know of someone else who had this problem. Their solution was to
revert back to JDK.1.1.5 but I don't want to do that.
