You were right about the memory usage during the compilation. The system is
an old one and has only 512 MB RAM and one CPU core. During compilation of
openjdk8 it run out of memory. The swap file, which is 512 MB as well, was
completely used. Shortly after this state was reached, the above error
message appeared, but the system __did not__ freeze.
The bad part is that I cannot upgrade the old system totally. The good part
is that all other programs could be updated without any problem. Many thnx
to the good work of the FreeBSD community. I really appreciate this.
I like to test some things on this rejuvenated beast and probably I don't
need openjdk8 for that. So I can live with the situation. I only announced
it, so that other people do not run into the same situation. But who is
running a FreeBSD system with 512 MB RAM nowadays anyway?
