 Urk. /usr/ucblib is where all the SunOS binary compatibility libraries
live. Specifying them, before the standard libs in /usr/lib is going to
break stuff.

 Do you *really* need to specify the /usr/ucblib ? Take it out. Just do:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/brokat/twister-2.3.5/lib:/opt/brokat/twister-2.3.5/bin:/usr/java/lib/sparc/native_threads:/u2/oracle/product/8.0.4/lib

 There is no reason why the oracle libraries should interfere with vi or
more.
