OK, I've reproduced the problem with Sun Java 1.4.1 (which is what
you're using).

Apparently Sun Java 1.4.1 doesn't like something about the combination
of jikes 1.17 and the Blackdown 1.4.1 JDK.

One solution is to upgrade to Sun Java 1.4.1_01, which works fine here
(on a Debian system) with the released 0.17.1 binary.

In a day or two, when I understand all of these issues a bit better,
I'll try to do a 0.17.2 release that's built in a more compatible way.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for your help!
