Description Marc Heckmann 2004-05-26 00:36:56 UTC
Description of problem: 
 
Using either the stable 32bit Java 1.4.2 sdk or the beta 1.5.0 64 bit one from 
http://java.sun.com, I get segfaults when trying to run Jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30 from 
http://jakarta.apache.org 
 
 
How reproducible: 
 
100% 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
 
1. set JAVA_HOME to where the SDK live. 
2. turn on coredumps with ulimit -c 10000000 
3. cd jakarta-tomcat-4.13 
4. ./bin/startup.sh 
5. access a webapp via your browser. 
6. look at the segfaults (via dmesg) or core file 
 
The machine passed a round of memtest86 testing. 
 
I can send in more info upon request.

Comment 1 Marc Heckmann 2004-05-26 00:39:01 UTC
oops, the above should read "cd jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30", not 4.13. 
 
I haven't tried the blackdown or IBM JDK's yet, but I will.  
 
I've also tried LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 and 2.2.5 
 
-m 

Comment 2 Marc Heckmann 2004-05-26 03:39:26 UTC
one more detail, the processes segfault with signal 6 SIGABRT.

-m

Comment 3 Marc Heckmann 2004-06-14 17:40:58 UTC
the fix for this (turned out to be a false message) is in the most
recent bk kernels (post 2.6.7-rc3 I believe).
see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2839

It might be a good idea to include it in a future update release as it
avoids user confusion.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 04:38:35 UTC
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
