        Ok, then as long as you're only making calls to Image from a single
Java
        thread, the use of MR should theoretically work fine.  Of course
adding MR
        capability to the VM will make your installation a non-standard and
        potentially "unsupported".

        You said that the VM aborts when you give it VM?  Is this when you
try to
        call Image, or the VM just won't run at all with MR (which sounds
vaguely
        familiar to me), in which case can you give us the error and/or
stack trace
        you get when it dies?
