Indeed. Given the symptoms, next thing I would do would be to check exactly what versions of shared libraries the java binaries on both sides are loading and chase down any differences.

If that doesn’t help, check that the CLASSPATHs are identical, check the versions of everything loaded from standard extensions or the CLASSPATH, and chase down any differences.
