Hi,

I recently upgraded to jdk1.5.0 in (perhaps foolhearty) search of a better
java plugin experience.  Now unfortunately both firefox and opera crash
hard when exposed to java pages.

For firefox, I get:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

For opera, I get:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so: Undefined symbol "__cxa_atexit"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Interestingly for opera, the about box says "no java runtime installed", but
the java preference has a validated path to the JRE....

Versions:  jdk1.5.0, firefox 1.0.6, opera 8.50

Last but not least, a beginner question:  How do you run firefox in gdb?
I found firefox-bin, but it won't launch without the environment grooming
that its scriptup scripts perform, and I can't run gdb on the startup
script :(

If anybody needs it, my root password is:  root123

(just kidding)

Thanks!

Mike
