This Segmentation fault is expected.

Extracted from the "NEWS" file:
-----
* version 0.1.4

Removed -Werror compiler option from distribution.
As before, it only runs until a native call to
Java_java_lang_Runtime_getLibraryPath().

What is happening is that SableVM doesn't succeed at resolving the
symbol "Java_java_lang_Runtime_getLibraryPath" in a dynamically linked
library.  As the lookup procedure for linking dynamic libraries is not
fully implemented, I didn't want to spend time (yet) making SableVM fail
gracefully on failure to lookup a symbol.

I am currently working on this, as I want to be able to test SablePath's
native code, which requires library dynamic lookup.
