Thanks for the work with the latest patchset. Being one of the people who experienced the fork+hang problem with jdk14p3, I must say that the recent patchset is a definite improvement. However, the problem still occurs for me (though not as often), especially when compiling jsp pages under jboss3 under load. Would it help at all if I were to provide core-images of the hanging processes to help with the debug procedure?
