The VM kept crashing. I talked to Tibco customer support and got the following reply: > > " Since the Java jdk only supports green threads on FreeBSD 4.3 and Rendezvous (TIB/RV) > requires the use of native threads, the Java API is not supported on this > platform. " Then their software is broken, since to be portable, it must not assume a threading model. Green threads are in fact 'native', but are not kernel threads. > So, I don't know if what customer support says is true. But I did > notice that I could not get the example TIB/RV programs to run on > jdk1.1.8 on FreeBSD 4.3 either. I did get the C example programs to > run.
