jar is broken on some JDK distributions (one of the 1.2 betas is broken
big time). Check to see if there is either:

  * An older version of the JDK affecting this one - usually caused by old
    shared libraries being used before new ones

  * If a more recent version of 1.1.6 is available

I've just tested jar here (Linux JDK 1.1.6v? {not sure what version}) and
it didn't SIGSEGV.

Hmmm, something is broken there. Until recently I've been using 1.1.3v2
for postgresql work since the 6.2 days.

Don't forget to look at the examples... you'd be surprised at what you can
learn from other peoples code.
