From: John W To: freebsd-java@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-BeenThere: freebsd-java@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting Java to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2014 04:19:04 -0000 I have a strange issue where when I run certain Java programs my machine will spontaneously reboot. No useful log messages are produced that I have found. I found some suspiciously similar issues [1] [2] reported by others, but I am having a tough time determining if it has been fixed in my version of the kernel. I found reference to a patch [3] but that is only for FreeBSD 10. I'm on an older build: FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #2 r253726: Mon Jul 29 19:46:55 PDT 2013 This happens when I recompile OpenJDK, and also when doing some image processing with JAlbum. I'd be happy to update my system, but I'd like to have some confidence that I'll be getting a fix for this issue before I spend some hours on that task. Does anyone have any tips for tracking this down, or familiarity with this issue? Thanks -John [1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2014-January/010481.html [2] https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce/zM7XMcZiUBg : "As part of the Jenkins setup, Craig Rodrigues encountered problems with running Java on FreeBSD 9.2 and FreeBSD 10.0. Both problems stemmed from changes to the FreeBSD Virtual Memory (VM) subsystem." [3] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2014-March/055683.html
