Problem with 1.1.9?

I have updated all my gtk+/glib dependencies in order to install the 
latest classpath and attempt to work on bug 71 (sorry for the long delay, 
life sometimes happens while you are trying to work).

Anyway, the gist of the problem I am encountering is that there are no 
explicit problems, crashing etc. but SableVM seems to just hang when 
trying to run even a trivial Hello World app.  In verbose mode I can see 
that it loads all the necessary classes, but when it loads the class with 
main it just freezes.  In running top sablevm does not appear so it looks 
to have become idle (no infinite loop).

I grabbed just the 1.1.9 tars and did the vanilla ./configure && make && 
make install and got this problem.

I can't see anything obvious that I did to cause this and was wondering if 
anyone else has seen this result.  Any feedback?
