Sun's Java is just a regular non-privileged application.  A 
non-privileged application should never be able to cause a kernel 
panic.  If it can, that's serious security flaw at the very least.  So 
if Sun's Java (running as non-root) causes a kernel panic, that's a 
problem in the *kernel*, which Red Hat does support (assuming you are 
actually running Red Hat's kernel).
