The problem with IBM's Java 1.3.1 is no longer limited to NPTL.  I saw a 
bugzilla report that I can no longer find which contained entries from 
Red Hat developers and IBM Java developers.  It indicated that IBM's 
Java uses some glibc call which used to return a bullshit value 
(sigaltstack, maybe?).  glibc now properly supports the function and 
returns a proper value.  IBM's Java, however, handles the returned value 
entirely in the wrong manner, so it crashes... regardless of whether 
you're using NPTL or not.

Wish I could find the Bugzilla report...
