Hello,

Just tried Limewire under JDK 1.3.1p6 this morning.  At first I was quite 
encouraged, it started up exactly as it does under Windows (same splash 
screen, etc).  The main screen comes up and it starts counting the files in 
your library.  

Looks very good at this stage (performance looks great, actually).   During 
this, you can launch a search or go between the tabs just fine.   At some 
juncture later (while still counting media files it can find in the path 
you've configured) the VM bails out.

This can either be a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS type failure, but it is usually a 
SIGSEGV.   The count of files within Limewire display a count total of 2700 
and that's where it fails.   I have exactly 3028 files in the path it is 
searching.  No filenames (I am aware of) that could trip up the application.

I am using the Pro version (which I bought) which isn't (functionally) any 
different from the freeware one except that there aren't any advertisements.  
Limewire doesn't officially support FreeBSD (this is a "Linux" build) but 
they say it will run on JDK 1.3.1.

A special environment var is required for Limewire.   J2SE_PREEMPTCLOSE needs 
to be set to "1", which they say is to work around some limitations in JDK 
1.3.1.

I have several core files if someone wants to look at them.  I'd like to get 
some feedback from people before I file a PR.   Curious what your experiences 
are.  

Cheers,
