That sounds like an OS issue. A user application such as Java does not have the power to take down the whole system.
BTW, if you believe the issue is in Sun JDK, you should definitely file a bug with Sun.
No. Whatever the bug is, the issue is not with Sun. As you said, a user application like java -- even if being run as root -- should not lock up a system like that. This should properly reported as a Mandrake bug, against the kernel component.
