This indeed seems to be the problem.  But it turns out that hsqldb has a 
fall-back locking implementation that does not require the NIO stuff.  
This seems to work under Kaffe (not SableVM).

Besides that, however, hsqldb also includes a few GUI programs that have 
the usual set of Swing and AWT problems.  (/usr/bin/hsqldb-*, if anyone 
wants to try it out.)  One could postulate that these programs are 
secondary functionalities of the hsqldb package and that the primary 
functionality works with kaffe.  If anyone wants to support that line 
of argument, hsqldb could be moved to main.
