I found I had to set the heapsize and other memory sizes to largish
amounts otherwise (I assume) that kaffe couldn't allocate its memory
because it went over its process limits. This is the interesting part of
my login.conf

The datasize-cur,stacksize-cur,memorylock-cur,memoryuse-cur seem to be the
parameters that make all the difference. (This took me a while to find the
correct values to make it work).

default:\
        :cputime=infinity:\
        :datasize-cur=32M:\
        :stacksize-cur=24M:\
        :memorylocked-cur=20M:\
        :memoryuse-cur=40M:\
        :filesize=infinity:\
        :coredumpsize=infinity:\
        :maxproc-cur=64:\
        :openfiles-cur=64:\
        :priority=0:\
        :requirehome@:\
        :umask=022:\
        :tc=auth-defaults:
