I'm running FreeBSD 4.10 with jdk 1.4.2p6. Summary: The na= tive JDK should provide the same stack trace error as the linux-sun-jdk whe= n it suffers from a lack of entropy, rather than simply locking with n= o output. I had a number of apps that locked solid with no debug out= put or stack trace. I ran these apps using the linux-sun-jdk and reci= eved an error relating to seeding random numbers (I can recreate and paste = the stack trace if needed). I then switched back to the native jdk an= d seeded /dev/random with 'rndcontrol -s 10' . Now the native JDK gets past= the lockup. P.S. My solution to this is to set rndcontro= l in a startup script -- let me know if I'm missing something.. Tha= nks, - C. Colby Thomson J.D.
