You might want to try rebuilding the jdk with the recent patches on 
freebsd-java to use the XToolkit AWT implementation instead of the 
MToolkit one. Since the crash you originally mentioned involves libmawt, 
that seems like a reasonable thing to do.

On second thought, you don't even need to rebuild jdk15. Just do as 
instructed here:
