title: Java 1.5 crash on AIX 5
body: <p>I have a problem with <strong>Java 1.5.0</strong> for <strong>AIX</strong>. The error happens just when I log on with specific user on AIX (<em>myuser</em>). When I log on with other user java works ok.</p>
  
  <p>The error come up even when I executed just <strong>"java -version"</strong> or simply <strong>"java"</strong> (of course, without quoting). I've tried executing it with the full path: <strong>/usr/java5/jre/bin/java</strong> but still fails.</p>
  
  <p>There was installed the version 1.4 of java on system too. So the <strong>$PATH</strong> variable for the user contained <strong><em>/usr/java14/jre/bin</em></strong>, but I removed that value, I even uninstalled that version of java (1.4) so that just java 5 exists on the system, but the error continues.</p>
  
  <p>If I execute <strong>"java -fullversion"</strong> it doesn't crash.</p>
  
  <p>This is part of the error (the full output is very long):</p>
