OK so I have searched all over the web for this and Im seeing some very strange behavior within this error. I installed the jar file, and set the classpath variable, Im doing this via a shell script within profile.d on a RH9.0 box. When I echo the classpath I see the jar, when I compile the sample Hello.java code from the install file it compiles fine. When I run the Hello file three times I get the following error:

java.lang.StackOverflowError at java.lang.ref.Finalizer$FinalizerThread.run(Finalizer.java:160) 0 [main] DEBUG Hello - Hello world. 5 [main] INFO Hello - What a beatiful day.

Then on the fourth run I get a HotSpot error:

# # HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Internal Error # Please report this error at # http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi # # Error ID: 43113F32554E54494D45110E43505002C5 # # Problematic Thread: prio=1 tid=0x80594e0 nid=0x2594 runnable # Aborted

Im using JDK 1.4.1_03, and Log4J 1.2.8, I searched all over the web for something similar to this with Log4J but found nothing. I was able to get this working on an XP laptop with the same version of JDK and Log4J. I have no clue what the difference would be between the two...
