???? Diablo is binary by definition, what do you mean by "self compiled"?

1st, to set up linux emulation is 30 seconds work.
2nd, it will not be a stable running JRE
3rd, if you feel so insecure with FreeBSD, then some linux distro maybe could save you some further frustrations.

There is nobody here who can help, obviously.
You may do any combination of the below:
- submit a PR
- See here: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/bsd-port/
- try the same openjdk version on linux or OSX, to break down the problem.
- if you feel hacker enough, try to solve the problem by yourself and submit a patch
- contact the people who made the port. (apparently they dont read this list)
