JRE and OpenOffice Part IV

Open office writer (soffice)
works ok when user is root. That is
the java based "wizards" work as intended.

However the "wizards" hang when launched as
a local user with the following error messages


Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack 
location -
  find_vma failed


According to some miscellaneous rummaging the above message
is due to a "proc" query that is rejected. This occurs as user root
or local user.

These errors occur specifically for the local user. I ma not a native 
java speaker and would appreciate if someone might use their secret 
decoder ring on the following

Thanx
