Julian (the person we get to blame for these bugs) can't determine why sometimes it works and other times it doesn't, so I'm suprised you are so confident in your ability to differentiate between kernel 'signal' bugs and JVM bugs. > What you've said is valid except that the solution is a backport of libc_r. > > > Fair enough.

If you want the changes backported, then Dan is the man to do it. If you want it done sooner, let him know what needs to be done, (providing patches, pointers, etc..) Otherwise, it won't get done.
