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.
