From your bug report (the one you just closed) I can see you're using
1.0.4 version. It's a shame on glibc that it still holds updates for
testing since sooo long time. But I can't really help that.
Of course you _CAN_ file a bug against 1.0.4 version and I'll tag it
"sarge". But _instead_ - let me suggest you fetch the sources to latest
version and recompile it on your system. The bugs found in it will be
much more important as you understand.

Getting back to the topic. Current /usr/lib/sablevm/bin/java wrapper
script supports:
-classpath, --classpath, CLASSPATH variable (which can be overwritten by
[-]-classpath), {-}-addclasspath and other options. Take a look at the
wrapper and you'll know (it's a simple shell script).
If there's some option missing or not working properly - I'd like to
hear that.

BTW: Is there any documentation where I could learn about all the
options that 'java' command should understand (and how they should
be used)? [0] I'd really love to see a pointer. Thanks.
Thank you for your comments, Daniel

[0] When I was writing this java wrapper - I took a look at the man page
of 'java' from j2sdk from blackdown. Then I tried to guess how to
implement and which options. I did it best I can and thus I'd be glad to
learn how to do it better. :-)
