Hey folks, I though I would post a quick note about the problem Frank 
was running into in case this bug was biting
anyone else. The real cause of the problem is gcc 4.X and the 
strict-aliasing option enabled by -O2. This is one of
those "is is a bug or a feature" things, the way to work around the 
problem is to either remove the -O2 option from
the CFLAGS in the generated Makefile, or add -fno-strict-aliasing to the 
CFLAGS in the generated Makefile.

I checked a patch (SF Patch 2424551) into the CVS to fix this issue (it 
should also fix other platforms where gcc
is not the default compiler). so, if you are running into a crash when 
doing "package require java" in Tcl Blend, then
make sure that gcc 4.X is building with this -fno-strict-aliasing flag.

cheers
