Which Java are you using? I found a problem similar to this using java
from an apt-get source. Instead I removed that, downloaded and
installed the JRE directly from Sun and everything worked just fine. I
think there was a problem with the JRE in my stock Ubuntu system and
that might be the case for you as well.
