I don't know if Notes8 uses an external java virtual machine or contains a java virtual machine itself, but your problem appears similar to this one: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 You could try to detect the libmawt.so file Notes8 uses on your system and try the "sed" trick explained in that page. It worked for me (Sun Java 6, Fedora 8, misc java apps). Good luck. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it
