AFAIK JRockit doesn't work with NPTL on IA32.  I wouldn't be surprised
if the IA64 version had similar problems.  So you probably should
report the problem to BEA

I don't how the new debs look but you might have some success by
setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.2.5 or 2.4.1.  This should enable the
use of LinuxThreads without (2.2.5) or with (2.4.1) floating stacks
instead of NPTL.
