I'm not sure about this, but from the log it appears to be a problem with SHA-256. Looking at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/ It seems that SHA-256 might not have been added until version 1.4.2 You may just need to update your Java. BTW 1.4.1 has a security issue and minimum 1.4.2 is recommended.
