>Description:
Whenever the Java virtual machine is started Communicator 4.0b3 blows
up with a floating point exception.

This happens if you are running X with 256 colours.  	
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Install the Netscape4 port
2) Startx with bpp 8
3) Start Communicator 
4) Invoke the Java console 
>Fix:
Start X with bpp 16 or greater

I think this should be mentioned in the pkg/DESCR file along with the
clue on getting Java apps to display!
