    Hmm. 

    Well, according to `ldd', both `javap' and `java' (i.e. `javac')
reference

 libc.so.5 => /G/java-linux/Debian.elf-libc/lib/libc.so.5.2.18.new

and, like I said, `javap' works fine, so I don't see how libc can be
the problem.

   So do you think ld.so-1.7.0 (vs. 1.7.12) might be the problem?

   I will check it out.

   (Not clear to me how one gets the version of an extant `ld.so'.)

   Thanks.

   Bill

p.s. Btw, here is some `javap' output:

    I think that is beautiful.
