John,
I'm sorry but this is not an answer.
I have the same problem (SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation etc,)
when I run the appletviewer.
My Linux box is Slackware 3.0 kernel 2.0 (not) running jdk1.1.6 v2.
Today I will post a much more detailed msg about this hoping that someone
using slackwar
this library causes requesting a Socket to send the Java VM (1.1.6) into
a thread panic aborting with many errors and traces. if the library is
replaced with the older ld-linux.so.1.9.5 library the problem goes away,
but breaks other programs on the system. Is there a better fix for this
problem
