Can you get it to dump core and figure our where the bug occurs? That  
is, the line of code/memory access?

With a little bit of tweaking, it shouldn't be too difficult to get  
the java code working with the standard Java comm. We moved away from  
it due to some issues with supporting newer versions of Linux. There  
was a time when it was really hard to find.
