To answer my own question: this problem is solved in RC4 of the blackdown
JDK. It now runs fine, happily chomping away at my memory. Perhaps C++ was
not such a bad idea after all. *duck*
As part of my learning experience: if the system tells you to use "brandelf"
to brand the Java 2 executable. you have to enable Linux emulation in
/etc/cr.conf. It seems FreeBSD's error messages are as cryptic as Java's
own. Correct, no doubt, but very cryptic. :-)
