Hi Colin,

it seems that kaffe crashes. I've seen both mips and mipsel mentioned in 
your mail, so that may be a part of the problem, you need to make sure 
that you are using the correct toolchain for your system (either mips or 
mipsel).

Kaffe from mid-august seems to largely work in a similar (intrp) 
configuation on mips-linux, according to the debian buildd buildlog at 
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=kaffe&ver=2%3A1.1.5-cvs20050808-2&arch=mips&stamp=1125205561&file=log&as=raw

mips!

!= mipsel!

If your toolchain is correctly set up, then you need to take a look at 
FAQ/FAQ.debugging and run kaffe with KAFFE_DEBUG=gdb kaffe Hello
(if you are using the wrapper script). That should help find out what 
the cause for the bus error is.
