He wrote "I found that b27 has been the last stable Java in my Serviio media center. On b28, Java doesn't close files and eventually pegs the kern.maxfilesperproc sysctl . On b29, Java causes kernel panics on 9.2-RELEASE. Portdowngrade is your friend in situations like this." Is this a bad idea? Thanks for any advice! -- Stephen
