	Okay, fine.  I've downgraded everything necessary (sysvinit, ldso,
libreadline and ncurses).  I get the same error.  I'm about at the point
where I'm ready to nuke the system and reinstall (over ftp, that'll take a
while.  Sigh).  I *MUST* have a working jdk on all my debian systems.  It
would be real nice if someone could package up a libc6.0 package like is
done with the libc5 stuff, so that those people who depend on non-cutting
edge software can still participate in the debugging effort.

	Any thoughts?
