Especially considering how much more solid 2.1 was compared to 2.2...

This is a kernel issue, it's not tied to any specific version of YDL.
If you run a relatively new kernel that was built without smp, the ibm
jdk breaks.  This is just as true in 2.1 as in 2.2 and I'm sure in
2.3.  If you need this java you only have two choices - stay with an
older kernel, which probably means staying with 2.1, or build a kernel
with smp and suffer some general performance degradation if you're on
a single processor machine.
