Azureus freezes during start up

Binary package hint: azureus

Azureus freezes during start up with "Loading images" displayed in the splash screen. The full terminal output it below. This is on a fresh Edgy install (Daily 20061009). And I tried installing libgtk-java and libgnome-java and it made no difference. This may be a bug in one of those packages.

I am going to try to solve this. I will post a solution here if I find one.
