Installing Java2 SDK

It looks like the Linux emulation package in
5.2-CURRENT-20040508-JPSNAP
is unable to handle some syscall made by the Java 2 SDK installation
package from Sun Microsystems:
jdk-1_5_0-beta2-linux-i586.bin
which can be downloaded from

http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=jdk-1.5.0-beta2-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg


The process dies with the message:
Bad system call (core dumped)

/var/log/messages contains:

Jun  1 23:00:28 localhost kernel: syscall(2f,2f,2f,281e1b20,80598c8) at syscall+0x217
