Thanks Pete! I will give that a shot. I am using Sun's JDK1.3.1 under
Redhat 7.1 (sorry, forget to mention my setup!).
I did, however, run across a post detailing a problem similar to mine. The
suggested solution was to set the TOMCAT_OPTS environment variable
to -classic. After setting this environment variable, everything ran
nicely. If anyone can give me any more detail on either solution, that
would be great. I hate to implement a fix but not know the root cause.
Pete, your explanation seems plausable. I'd be interested in knowing if
this is a known JVM bug or a Xerces bug?

Subject: Re: Segmentation Fault when modifying classpath?!
You're not by any chance using Suns JDK 1.3.1 and Linux are you?
If you are, add 'ulimit -s 2048' to tomcat.sh (or just type it in the
shell you launch tomcat from).
This limits the maximum stack size, but i can't give you more detail
than that, all i know is it works for me.
This problem only seems to show up with xerces, but since it works fine
on other JVMs, and on Sun JDK1.3.1 on Windows, i'd say Sun have a buggy
JVM here.
IBM's JDK does not have this problem, so that may be another option for
you.
Hope that helps

Ok...
All this surrounds modifying tomcat.sh per install instructions found in
apache-soap.
Per Apache-Soap's Getting Tomcat Ready, I have changed my classpath to
put
xerces.jar at the beginning of my classpath as follows:
unset CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/java/lib/xerces.jar
for i in ${TOMCAT_HOME}/lib/* ; do
if [ $CLASSPATH != ]; then
CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:$i
else
CLASSPATH=$i
fi
done
...
When starting tomcat I get the following:
Using classpath:
/usr/local/java/lib/xerces.jar:
/opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3/lib/activation.jar:
/opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3/lib/ant.jar:

fault
$JAVACMD $TOMCAT_OPTS -Dtomcat.home=${TOMCAT_HOME}
org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat $@
I can not figure out for the life of me why this is happening. I've also
tried setting the classpath from the shell with the exact same results.
Any
hints appreciated.
Thanks,
Al Calbazana
