Umm, I'd believe this except that someone sent me a patch (which I've forwarded to Marcel) that fixes this and is related to the sigalstack error above. At least the author of the patch claims that the IBM JDK now runs successfully on his box, running some version of FreeBSD. :) > The "real" problem is as simple > (or, rather, complex) as the fact that we don't support SA_SIGINFO > style signal handlers under the linux abi. [ Great explanation deleted ] Hmm, I'm at a loss. I've heard that things work fine with the signalstack issues fixed, so maybe the java program that he is running doesn't tickle the bug, although I find that rather difficult to believe given that almost every Java program known to man is multi-threaded.
