This error is indicative of a failed Mach system call.  There's little
hope of emulating these properly (or at least somebody a lot smarter &
more motivated than I would need to do it..)  Both the DU jdk and the
acroreader are linked to libmach, so there's little hope that they
will ever work.  Read sys/compat/osf1/README.mach-traps.

Cheers,
