Tried that, no go.
The odd thing is that JDK 1.3.1 will work quite happily without
0xerces.jar in the tomcat /lib folder. When i remove it, tomcat starts
up normally. when i put it in, segfault.
I added the symlink to /lib (I use Mandrake 8, not RH 7.1 so no i686
folder) and re-ran ldconfig. Same behaviour.
This looks to be a bug with the Linux JDK1.3.1
