Is Java 1.6 in 10.5.8 just problematic?

So, it’s been years since I waded into something like this. Got out of the IT game and let my geek-brain atrophy. Running 10.5.8 on a Macbook, all system updates look good, etc. I am trying to run a command line program called calibre2opds that extracts the library info from a calibre ebook library and formats for web/Stanza clients. (Check out Calibre if you like ebooks. It’s like iTunes for ebooks!) I am apparently running the same Java that the developer is, but am getting a runtime exception. The ONLY difference I can see is he says he’s running build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025 while I am running build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-9M3125. What’s the difference there?
