Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException

First, I will describe the problem. I have successfully installed LimeWire and have run it once. The second time, and all subsequent times I tried running it, I get an exception in a thread. As instructed, I set the J2SE_PREEMPTCLOSE=1 flag by placing it in the "runLime.sh" script. I also had to add "ulimit -s 2048" due to a stack restriction conflict. Second, I will divulge the versions of software I am using. I have LimeWire 2.1.3, glibc 2.2.1, Sun's jre 1.3.1_02, and bash 2.05. Java is correctly in my path, and for integrity's sake, I reinstalled it fresh. I did the same for LimeWire. As for permissions, I installed LimeWire as root, and ran it as a user. After I got this error, I tried it as root to no avail. As for the zip part, I have Adler, Wales and Gailly Zip 2.2 installed. No, I do not have Kaffe; I know this because I personally built my system from scratch (LFS). The explicit error message reported from the console is below:

Pluto:/home/greg $ /opt/LimeWire-2.1.3/runLime.sh
