Can you produce a small, stand-alone program which demonstrates this
problem?  Eg. some variation on 'hello-world.c' that could be posted
to this list and doesn't require people to jump through all the
flaming hoops of downloading the jdk, etc?

I've CC'ed Daniel Eischen, perhaps he might be interested in helping
too.

PS: What version of FreeBSD are you using?  There were some major thread
problems corrected just prior to 4.2-RELEASE (like, a few hours prior).
