First guess, installation problem.
Second guess, JVM bug (the VM should never seg. fault on it's own - without
assistance by defective native code)

No matter what you run? Your JRE installation appears broken,
reinstall it.

Otherwise, check to see if you use any native libraries, it can be a
crash somewhere there.
