Hi Eric,

I ran into this over the holidays too. I pushed the correction up
to the repository. Refresh and this should be fixed for you. Note
however, that the resulting build can not be used to bootstrap the
next zero PPC build due to issues with the change in the jdk startup
process vs DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. I was going to look into that soon but
the power cord to my PowerBook G4 15in was damaged by my dog tonight
and all have left is battery power. Hopefully the Apple store will
still have parts for this laptop.
