Subject: Netscape 4.0b3 + Java = Floating point exception on 2.2-STABLE

I have seen a number of messages flowing by the last little while about
trouble getting Java to work on FreeBSD x.x.x.

I'm afraid I must add myself to the troubled group.  I just installed
Communicator 4.0b3 using the port that was updated today (April 9) and I
get the familiar 'Floating point exception' message and a quick
disappearance of Communicator whenver Java tries to start up.

Several messages mentioned that the CLASSPATH had to be unset to make Java
work so my current /usr/local/bin/netscape wrapper looks like:

 #!/bin/sh
 export XKEYSYMDB ; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
 export XNLSPATH  ; XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
 export XAPPLRESDIR ; XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
 #export CLASSPATH ; CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/netscape
 exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin $*
 
and still it crashes.

I copied the *.jar files (ifc11.jar, iiop10.jar, jae40.jar java40.jar)
into ALL the locations mentioned in the README:

The current directory (~)
/usr/local/netscape/java/classes
/usr/local/lib/netscape
$HOME/.netscape

and still it crashes.

Would someone who has it working post their wrapper file and a list of the
*.jar (or other java class) files they have installed, with a note of
exactly where they are installed.
