Hmmm... well I can report that creating
~/.java/.deployment/deployment.properties (just as an empty file)
certainly does avoid the crash.  However, it cannot be acceptable for
an application to dump core simply because one of the machine
generated configuration files it wants is not present.

Interesting.  I had an earlier version of javaws (1.20_01 (build b01))
running, which used ~/.java/deployment/deployment.properties -- seems
that the new version has picked up all of my settings from there.

	Cheers,
