Upgrading to gradle 1.1 from gradle-1.0-milestone-8a fixed initialization problem on HPUX, but now Linux RHEL 5.6 ppc64 won't initialize. Success on 8 other UNIX platforms, so I think my upgrade is good. Doesn't get far enough to create the .gradle directory. Could this be a bug, or is it a Java version issue? I'm running Java version 1.6.0. More details below.

Thanks,
