It doesn't matter whether I am or not.  If kjwaves depends on 
non-free software some distributions won't include it.  Whether 
you like it or not, we need to deal with it.  We cannot tell 
them to use another distribution just for this.  Telling a user 
to install a special version of Java is no better than telling 
them to install a special version of guile.

It has been requested here.  The original poster is using 
gnucap.  Gnucap is the main simulator here.

We all know that gwave has a problem, but I have never seen it 
crash the OS.  The worst I have seen is failure to build due to 
not having the correct version of guile installed.

I really want to be able to recommend kjwaves without 
reservation.  You need to take care of these problems.
