Package: libc6.1 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10 Version: 2.3.2-9 After an update of the libc6.1 package (from version 2.3.1 ?? or 2.3.2-7 ??, i'm not sure about it), running Java programs under the JDK1.3.1 (Tomcat, SQuirrel) will end up with an Segmentation fault. These programs worked under previous libc6.1 versions. Downgrading the system to libc6.1 to version 2.2.5-11.5 resolves the problem. Upgrading back to 2.3.2.ds1-10 lets the problem reappear.
