!This is a bug in the linux emulation.  I posted a patch for 3.4-STABLE
!several weeks ago which fixes this.  I'm not sure how it would work on
!3.3.

Thanks for this information.
I applied the patch to my 3.3-R /usr/src/sys,
compiled the new linux.ko module,
and it installed without complaint.

And the good news is,
the Linux JDK1.2pre-v2 here reads input now.

Thanks again !
