Description Knut J BJuland 2001-02-11 21:32:57 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1-ac9 i686)


I think glibc 2.2.1 might cause problem with Suns 1.3_01 JDK installed from
rpm.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I just type in /usr/bin/java/jdk1.3.0_01/bin/java --version
2. Try to start mozilla with installed java plugin	
3.Or start netscape 6.0.1
	

Actual Results:  Java freezes and hang on the command line. I use bash.
Mozilla and Netscape 6 does not start.

Expected Results:  Java should have show version number and mozilla and
Netscape should have lanuched.

I use kernel 2.4.1-ac9.

We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release.

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2001-02-13 12:53:12 UTC

This is a buggy JDK (it has hardcoded knowledge about thread stacks being 2MB
in size aligned to that size). We're now discussing what do with that.

Comment 6 Chris Chabot 2001-02-27 04:07:42 UTC

Do note that this behaviour happens with both Sun's JRE, as well as IBM's JRE.

IBM's JRE can be get work work when force-installing the i386 glibc packages
(rpm -ivh --force glibc-...-i386.rpm). This however does not fix Sun's JRE 
(which is used in netscape, and various other components)

Comment 7 Jakub Jelinek 2001-03-21 12:59:18 UTC

Please try glibc-2.2.2-7 and pass
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
in environment to JRE.

Comment 8 Knut J BJuland 2001-03-21 13:55:14 UTC

Java works with glibc 2.2.2-7 and export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 in
./home/user/.bashrc

Comment 9 Jakub Jelinek 2001-03-21 13:59:26 UTC

Great.
Sun is testing a JDK fix ATM AFAIK, so with next JDK it won't be necessary
to use this env variable.

Comment 11 Vladimir Kondratiev 2001-04-06 18:03:28 UTC

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

is better to put in $JAVA_HOME/bin/.java_wrapper
This way it is set for Java only. Tested with appletviewer and Forte for Java.

Comment 12 Need Real Name 2001-05-03 14:46:56 UTC

Sun's jdk1.3.1rc2 works with redhat7.1
