"Problem with constructor javax.swing" on Linux RedHat 7.2 (re/sdk 1.3.0 and 1.3.1)

[Kwstakhs]

Hi.

I want to run JavaDC (javadc-snapshot-20011128.tar.gz) on a RedHat
(i386) box.

The same program (before building classes) runs on a Solaris 8(sparc)
box
with no problems.

However, on the RedHat I get the following error when trying to "list
downloads".

After that the client cannot download anything at all. The funny
(ha!) thing is
that on Solaris the program works fine. I have
"limit stacksize 8192 kbytes" and quite a lot of patience :-).

I tried j2sdk1.3.0, j2sdk1.3.1, j2re1.3.0, j2re1.3.1 versions of
"java" executable but none worked the way I wished.

My kernel is 2.4.7-10 and I have /lib/libc.so.6 symlinked to
/lib/libc-2.2.4.so.

Anyone feeling helpful here? :-)

TIA
