This version (3.2.1) or the IDE crashes at startup if I try to run it with the
IBM JDK 1.3.0. under Linux. (It is a Debian Potato 2.2r3 system with Linux
kernel version 2.2.19) However it runs with the Sun (HotSpot) VM 1.3 on the same
system.

The previous version of the IDE (3.2) worked fine on this system with this IBM JVM.

Here is the console log:
