Sam's message indicates that the i686 directory is used. Since the name includes a ".." could it be a symbolic link problem? Sam, any symlink in /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin? Any chance when deinstalling jdk and reinstalling?

It works for me (tm):

ezili:~> ls -l /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/../bin/i686/green_threads/java
