I expect the threading system not to be completely innocent. If you try 
to run the installer with unix-pthread (instead of unix-jthreads) it 
never crashes (at least for me). However running jython seems harder, I get:

*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar,

Jython 2.1 on java1.3 (JIT: kaffe.jit)
kaffe-bin: machine.c:620: installMethodCode: Assertion `e->start_pc <= 
e->end_pc' failed.

Do you have any idea of what is "a bad jar" ? the jitter seems also to 
have some problem ...

Cheers,
Guilhem.
