#11 treebeard fails to start

[Jim Hart]

On Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1, I get the following after
launching Treebeard with the shell script
"treebeard.sh", I get the following:

Couldn't start Ashpool: java.sql.SQLException: Could
not open datastore: SAX2 driver class
org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl not found

"treebeard.sh" contains:
