It is not really a "limitation", it's an incompatibility. RH6 is based
on glibc2.1, while JDK1.2 with native threads currently only works with
glibc2.0. Both have pthread support, but some details are different.
The people porting the JDK have stated that this problem will be fixed
in future releases.
