mozilla/unstable + java-jvm = crash

[Tom Allison <tallison@tacocat.net>]

I installed the mozilla-unstable branch yesterday.
the Java-jvm plugin that I had before was no longer listed as available so I 
tried to reinstall the java plugin from the sun.com website.

I did the install as 'root' so that I wouldn't have any problems with access 
rights for installing the plugin.

Under Mozilla, the About Plugins section shows the java jvm as installed and 
enabled.

Installed the jvm from java.sun.com.
Mozilla reports:
    File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
    Java(TM) Plug-in1.3.1_02
Mozilla crashes with:
bash-2.05a$ /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin
java_vm: relocation error:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/java2/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait,
version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from browser
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable

libc.so.6 is version 2.3.1-5

Does anyone know how to get this working?  I was just fine before under 
mozilla 1.0 (IIRC the jvm was 1.2 or 1.3).

(Everything else about this Moz install is good!)
