>Environment:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH not set!

CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/share/java/classes.zip:/usr/local/share/kaffe/biss.zip
KAFFEHOME=/usr/lcoal/share/kaffe

The problem also occurs when one or both of CLASSPATH and KAFFEHOME are NOT set.

>Description:

When LD_LIBARARY_PATH is not set to include /usr/lcoal/lib, kaffe(1) generates
a bus error and gets its core dumped.
The manpage says LD_LIBRARY_PATH only needs to be set when ld.so(1)'s default
library path doesn't include /usr/local/lib. However, the error also occurs when
this path was set using ldconfig(8) to belong to ld.so's default search path.

>How-To-Repeat:

Get a test.class file with a valid java bytecode (e.g. generated by guavac or
kaffe sun.tools.javac.Main)

Call
	kaffe test

This generates
	Bus error (core dumped)

>Fix:
	
Include the ENVIRONMENT script that comes along with kaffe anywhere in the startup
scripts and correct the manpage.
