	It is known that linux jdks with hotspot are not stable on
	FreeBSD linux emulation. Must be something hard to fix,
	since it has been like this for quite a long time.
	(maybe this has something to do with signal handling
	differences between linux and freebsd ?)

	I tried 4.5-STABLE some time ago and at least
	linux jdk 1.4.0 crashed like before.

	Yes. Maybe someone on freebsd-emulation mailing
	list could help. Before this gets fixed, one must be mad
	to run a production server using linux-jdk + hotspot + freebsd.
	Current solutions are (to my understanding) to either
	use native jdk 1.3 (which has no hotspot - yet - so performance
	is not so great) or install linux to your server and use linux-jdk
	(which works ok but you can kiss goodbye for freebsd :-()
