I was going to try with gdb: I hope there are dbg (with gdb symbols)
versions of the packages around. Will try to find time to look further 
maybe later today. As I said in my follow up message, I now don't think
it is likely to be a josm problem.

But I am surprised that no one else seems to have reported such a major
issue. I have sent a message to openjdk at list.

Thanks for the reply. I am not now planing on trying to submit a ticket
against josm since it looks like a debian/java problem as of now.
As I said before, my most recent attempts to submit tickets seemed
to silently fail.
