Nnggg... I made a patch for this some time ago and forgot to commit
it.  I will take care of it later tonight.

The reason this happens is an inadequacy in the wrapper shell script
that isn't quite sure what to do if have . in your PATH, or if you
invoke java with ./java.  The former case is an unsafe thing to do;
the latter is just something that Sun and/or the Blackdown team
never expected someone to do, I guess. :-)

If you add /usr/local/jdk1.2-blackdown/bin to your path and run
"java -version" to test, you will see that it works just fine.
