I remember something similar happened time ago, sed command to
disable XINERAMA...

Have a look at this:

I guess it's libX11 which is enforcing locking rules
which are violated by the old jpp 1.5.0 you are using.

Try this
  export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
or patch the libmawt.so using sed
or, yes, change the JVM to something less buggy.

Best regards.
