strange, I've never seen this behaviour. have you tried the original .bin
from blackdown? the package contains exactly the same files, so I don't
think the debs are the problem.

maybe the problem is caused by an older installation of java? maybe a user
setting? do all the accounts on your system have the same problem?
good luck,
