freebsd stable - Sep 2006 - Once more oddity on -STABLE - Linux emulation is broken someway

Dear colleagues,

     Linux emulation on -STABLE from September, 25 works somewhat  
strange.

     Shortly: it dumps core.
     Explain: I want to bootstrap native Java Development Kit v1.4  
using Linux JDK. Immediately
after invoking 'java' executable with full path kernel diagnoses  
"Segfault" and dumps core.

     Core file size has similar sizes besides of what JDK has been  
used (!) - Sun or IBM.

     Additional digging gives me some more strange results:

# chroot /compat/linux /bin/sh
bash-3.00# ls -l
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
bash-3.00#

     Well, change Fedora Core 4 linux_base to Red Hat 9 linux_base.  
"ls" doesn't dump core
anymore, but 'java' doesn't work.

     6.1-R-p7 works just fine.

     Somebody has broken Linuxuliator?-) Or I've broken my notebook?

P.S. Reboots doesn't cure, FreeBSD itself, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4  
Update 4 and Windows XP
Service Pack 2 works excellent, FreeBSD is able to re-build self,  
etc, etc.

     ... Only two things are infinite - the Universe and human  
stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
                                                                 A.

Can't reproduce it at 6.2-PRERELEASE. You may be interested at
/usr/ports/UPDATING (20060616: AFFECTS users of
emulation/linux_base-*) to get some tips to get your linuxolator
working. Please, follow those advices and post details if in vain.
