Description of problem:
Apologies for the component.  Hoping whoever received this level of
component info will reassign to the correct persons.

Java Webstart no longer works on FC3.  It ran fun on same system, FC2
fully updated.

Tried both:

jdk1.5.0
j2sdk1.4.2_06

Running:
[root@charis ~]# /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/javaws

never responds or produces anything, but gives a java zombie:

root      4287  4095 92 01:06 pts/1    00:01:02
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/javaws
root      4288  4287  0 01:06 pts/1    00:00:00 [java] <defunct>
r

Java apps run just fine.
Here's exact versions installed:

[root@charis ~]# /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java -version

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
