Segmentation Fault in Java with IPv6

Hi. I keep getting a segmentation fault from Java (versions 1.4 and up). I noticed in the hs_err_pidxxx.log file, it looks like there is a problem with IPv6. ( The final non-native method in the stack trace is java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.lookupAllHostAddr(). ) This fault has happened with Eclipse and other applications, so I wrote a small app that just calls a single method ( java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(), which is higher up in the stack trace ) to verify where it's failing. This simple app fails with the segmentation fault on Ubuntu Gutsy (I haven't tried it on any previous version), but runs perfectly on Windows XP. It also runs with no problems in an Ubuntu Gutsy install in a VMWare VM on my XP machine, but not the full install to a HD partition.

I have searched all over the internet to find a solution, but have not found one. Mostly I just found suggestions to disable IPv6, but when I do that I can't connect to anything exception localhost. Does anyone know what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

hs_err log below....
