The Swarm native libraries don't load correctly into the JVM.  Why this 
is, no one knows.  Maybe it has to do with the malloc implementation, 
some memory map boundary (I didn't see one), the dynamic link loader, 
the presence of two Objective C runtimes, or something else (perhaps 
even a magic flag to the JVM or to the linker).   The way to figure it 
out is to sit down and beat at it in the debugger until the problem 
reveals itself.  Specifically it dies registering methods as Objective C 
classes are initialized by shared library constructors.
