However, apparently =09all that kludging inside HotSpot works obviously quite =09well under Linux.

Please try = to=20 =09continue your work - if you don't make it looks like that=20 =09FreeBSD HotSpot support won't been seen in hear future =09(at least I haven't heard anyone else working on that) =09=09Ari S.
