I'm running FreeBSD 4.10 with jdk 1.4.2p6. Summary: The native JDK should provide the same stack trace error as the linux-sun-jdk when it suffers from a lack of entropy while generating random numbers.. rather than simply locking with no output. I had a number of apps that locked solid with no debug output or stack trace. I ran these apps using the linux-sun-jdk and recieved an error relating to seeding random numbers (I can recreate and paste the stack trace if needed). I then switched back to the native jdk and seeded /dev/random with 'rndcontrol -s 10' . Now the native JDK gets past the lock-up. P.S. My solution to this is to set rndcontrol in a startup script -- let me know if there is a better suggestion. Thanks, - C. Colby Thomson J.D.
