Java (jdk1.5) woes with firefox (1.0.6) and opera (8.5)

[Mike Hunter]

After learning a bit about freebsd package management, I figured out how to
upgrade to the latest Xorg (and make sure I'm actually using it :) ):

xdpyinfo | grep -i ersi 
version number:    11.0
X.Org version: 6.8.2

But I'm still plagued with the same crash.  Is there any chance that the
java vm is using an old libawt or something like that?

Thanks for all the help so far and I appreciate whatever else anybody has
to offer :)
