Native jdk1.4.1 working

[Georg-W. Koltermann]

This may have been explained already and I missed it.  In case it
wasn't: You are using system preferences in the java.util.prefs API. 
System preferences by default are persisted somewhere in $JAVA_HOME. 
chown(1) $JAVA_HOME to your user, run the program once again and do a
find(1) for the new file(s).  You may then chown $JAVA_HOME back to bin
and just leave the preferences directory writable by you (or world).

I don't know what the proper fix is.  The linux JDK 1.4.2 from ports has
the same behavior.
