This is the one where ORP prints

  No Java handlers found
  No Java handlers found
  No Java handlers found
  Uncaught exception:
  No Java handlers found
  No Java handlers found

and terminates.  This happens sometime during the very early stages of the 
initialization of the VM; it doesn't even matter whether the class you're
trying to run exists or not.  Some debugging showed that it was getting a
SIGSEGV during the execution of java.lang.Runtime's static initializer and
trying to throw a NullPointerException.

I would say that this should be saved for a last resort; I'll stare at ORP 
some more to see if I can figure out how to fix it there.  (I don't have much
experience with ORP yet, so I can't make any promises.)
