kernel kills apps

I am running a secure kernel version of Mandrake 9.2 (security level 4).
When I open a browser page that uses Java scripts or try to run Java
programs from the command-line, the kernel kills the app.

Below are 2 examples from the /var/log/messages file.

Does anyone know how to adjust the kernel resource allocations, so
that the kernel won't kill my user apps?




example 1:

The below example of the kernel killing a Java program...

$ java FileViewer
#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Internal Error
# Please report this error at

Adjust the Java security instead, and/or upgrade to Mandrake 10, and/or use
something different. Most people I've encountered don't bother using Java
on Linux, but I have no clue on my own.
