I can reproduce this error on FC11 (i386) with octave 3.2.2 as well. I
did few steps futher:

try to install java package from the octave prompt:

octave:1> pkg install java-1.2.6.tar.gz
warning: lo_ieee_init: unrecognized floating point format!
warning: lo_ieee_init: unrecognized floating point format!
warning: lo_ieee_init: unrecognized floating point format!
__java__.cc: In function ‘void initialize_jvm()’:
__java__.cc:385: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
... < few warnings deleted > ...

2 problems (2 warnings)error: memory exhausted or requested size too
large for range of Octave's index type -- trying to return to prompt
octave:1>

Then I tried to build the package in bash shell with ./configure and
make, then it succeeds:

2 problems (2 warnings)rm -f octave.jar
jar cf octave.jar  org/octave/ClassHelper.class
org/octave/OctClassLoader.class  org/octave/Octave.class
org/octave/OctaveReference.class  org/octave/Matrix.class

It appears to me that it is this "jar cf ... " command that crashes
octave's pkg.
So may be it is an octave bug. Crossposting to the octave mailing list...
