Yes, this is the right place to post questions about any Debian setup.

I had the same problem with jdk 1.4. I find that upgrading to 1.4.1 fixes
it.
The problem here is that some idiot at Sun put a call to __libc_wait in
the JVM. __libc_wait is (was) an internal function of libc 2.2 that
should never have been called directly from outside libc, and it no
longer exists in libc 2.3.
I don't know what PSE Pro is; does it really work only on 1.3? You can't
use 1.4.1? What I've done for a few things is use 1.4.1 with the
j2ee.jar from 1.3 (since AFAIK there is still no jdk1.4-ee). I haven't
found this to cause any problems.
