Great! I was able to get things running by setting the ulimit to 300000.

But is this something that we want globally for all users on the system? 
The only way I see doing this is by putting an explicit "ulimit -d 
300000" in /etc/profile or somewhere that it will be globally executed. 
Would it make sense to make a shell-script wrapper around "java", 
something like...

#!/bin/sh
#
#  /usr/bin/java - wrapper
#############################

ulimit -d 300000
/usr/pkg/java/sun-1.4/jre/bin/java $@

# end of script


... Also - I still get this...

$ java -version

And what's up with this line in the NetBSD.MESSAGE? ...

Then, you need to add the following line to your /etc/fstab:

procfs /proc procfs rw,linux

... is that obsolete or actually necessary? If I put that in, surely the 
system won't be able to mount the device "procfs" since it doesn't exist.

Thanks very much for your help,
