This may be flame territory, but OpenBSD is not, in my opinion, a good
Java development platform.

If you just want to fool around with this stuff, go ahead. Do not
assume you can run any kind of production Java code on OBSD. You can't
-- it's not nearly production ready.

Again, this is my opinion, but it is a somewhat informed one. Use
FreeBSD or Linux instead.

Ouch. I've seen this error from tar when I pass it a gzipped archive by
accident. In this case, ftp could not retrieve the file, and stream
it's empty stdout to tar's stdin, which then promptly barfed an error
message. This unexpected turn of events left someone's memory in a bad
way, and the kernel had to step in and knock some heads, dump some core.

You may want to try building from the ports tree, which is what is
recommended on other BSD platforms when building the JDK. See if you
can install from ports, and be prepared to watch the build process run
for hours and hours.

BTW, I think the JDK 1.3 on OBSD runs in Linux compat mode, which may
not give you anywhere near the kind of performance you need.
