Potential issues with 2.4 Linux kernel

Hello ...
Apologies if this is an intrusion ...
Several developers and myself have
run in to problems using xerces 1.4.3 
and xalan 2.2. using Linux with the 2.4 kernel.
We have the jars from
xml.apache.org 
Running even the simple examples provided 
with the download causes a Segment Fault.
The result is the same whether run under root or user.
This is of course after modifying and exporting
the classpath. 
Can you point me to any discussions about this?

Many thanx, 
M.

Are you sure it is a kernel-related issue ?
There was a real problem using Sun JDK due to glibc some times ago (see 
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4459978.html), that is 
related to be corrected setting envvar LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.2.5
Test with IBM JDK, that was not concerned by this problem. Or upgrade to 
latest glibc.
