Description Anders Domeij 2003-04-19 13:02:55 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
After upgrading from ver 8.0 to 9.0 and running up2date to get the latest ver 9
fixes (problem occured immediately after upgrade), I can't run any Java programs
that ran before he upgrade.
Neiether Websphere Studio Application Developer (i.e IBM JDK 1.3 "J2RE 1.3.1 IBM
build cxia32131-20020622") will run receives a segmentation fault.
Commandline java with IBM JDK 1.3.1 ("J2RE 1.3.1 IBM build cxia32131-20021102")
will not run either. Running the Java2D sample for instance immediately exits
with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" programs.
Just trying to compile a java program with IBM's JDK 1.4
("J2RE 1.4.0 IBM build cxia32140-20020917a") will not run eithergives a message:
"JVMDG217: Dump Handler is Processing a Signal - Please Wait" and then hogs the
CPU 100% (or more) and the process must be stopped with a 'kill -9' signal.

From some past bugzilla reports I have guessed hat the component involved is
glibc but I haven't verified it in any way...

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start WSAD or
2.Run IBM JDK 1.3.1 Java2D sample or
3.try to compile a java program with IBM JDK 1.4
    

Actual Results:  Segmentation faults/core dumps/CPU hogging

Expected Results:  I would expect java to function in ver 9 too :-)

Please note that with the kernel that ships with Red Hat Linux 9 comes a new
threading system which "breaks" non-true-POSIX compliant code (which includes
various JVMs).  Read your release notes and search for "java" and the
workarounds to attempt to get buggy JVMs to work under Red Hat Linux 9 (or
simply upgrade to the manufacturer's latest JVM that has been tested with
NPTL-enabled kernels).

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2003-04-21 08:55:42 UTC
Right, please read RELEASE-NOTES.
