Hi,


   4.2 and 4.3 FreeBSD on two 2xcpu smp systems. linux-jdk1.3 and linux-jdk1.4beta.

   I have had such odd results with java on FreeBSD (somethings run and others dont) that I decided to run a test. The test was to run a standard piece of software against these two jdk's. That being Jakarta Tomcat 3.2.2. Cant get more standard than that. It is the standard actually. Interesting that it didnt work. Hotspot blows chunks on a regular basis ( java.core's). I agree with an eariler comment that threads are probably a serious problem here.

   I have no idea whether it is a problem with FreeBSD, linux-threads/emulation or the jdk's themselves. Here is an obvious question. Do the developers of the "core" code (kernel/emulators/jdk's etc) bother testing against something as basic as this? Is this a problem that is being fixed in 5? Should I be running 5? Is FreeBSD doomed to serving applets or simple servlets? (It's dead if it is IMO).

   Something isnt right here. Any help would be appreciated. (I'm mainly talking to the developers of the core code I think).

Thanks
Jim
