Hi all

For a test I've just installed:
java-1_7_0-icedtea
on my opensuse11 box.

"java -version" command crashes with an error. In order to work, I
must use the  -Xmx option, also with 1m:

java -Xmx1m -version

Any reason for it? Is it a workaround? In factory is it fixed?

Thanks to 
http://en.opensuse.org/Java/How_To_use_Java_with_Firefox_on_64-bit_openSuSE_10.3
and  Michal Vyskocil for sharing this workaround.


Ciao
Roberto
