=09It is known that linux jdks with hotspot are not stable on
=09FreeBSD linux emulation. Must be something hard to fix,
=09since it has been like this for quite a long time.
=09(maybe this has something to do with signal handling
=09differences between linux and freebsd ?)

=09I tried 4.5-STABLE some time ago and at least
=09linux jdk 1.4.0 crashed like before.

=09Yes. Maybe someone on freebsd-emulation mailing
=09list could help. Before this gets fixed, one must be mad
=09to run a production server using linux-jdk + hotspot + freebsd.
=09Current solutions are (to my understanding) to either
=09use native jdk 1.3 (which has no hotspot - yet - so performance
=09is not so great) or install linux to your server and use linux-jdk
=09(which works ok but you can kiss goodbye for freebsd :-()

=09=09Ari S.
