3rd party application crashes with SIGSEGV in libc.6 (catgets)

My system = ubuntu 9.10, amd64
sun-java6-jdk: Installed: 6-15-1

When trying to launch a 3rd party Java Swing application (DbVisualizer 6.0), it crashes with the following report:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007eff1fa86b08, pid=15890, tid=139633651968272

Aborted

I have also installed jdk6 update 17 from sun.com, but it fails in the same way. (libc.6, catgets)

I attached hs_err_pid15890.log to this report.
Let me know if/how I can help (provide additional information, test other stuff..)

Kind regards
