...from your other posts, it sounds like you're having a quite a bit of
difficulty.  Are you seeing any warnings in syslog or on the console prior
to the crash?  Anything about resources?  Hard to tell, but it sounds like
JavaStation support is experimental.  PERL is a beast to compile, and if
anything is going to rub a system the wrong way, it's compiling it.

First off, if you're going to run 1.5.x, at least compile a new kernel,
and probably add options:

options DEBUG
options DIAGNOSTIC

Remove anything else you don't need.
