[Helma-user] alleged syntax errors on new debian server

[VividVisions, Walter Krivanek]

Just for the record:

There were only few illegal UTF-8 byte codes in some files, however  
they got in there in the first place.

The problem was mainly the installed JVM: Kaffe (http://kaffe.org/).
Some methods (mostly of the java.util.regex classes) returned  
different values than expected (0 instead of null) and so, many  
functions were broken.
I've installed the Sun JVM and now everything works like a charm  
(great tutorial in German how to do so: http://wiki.debianforum.de/ 
JavaPackageGenerator)
