When running a 3rd party Java runtime env, it crashes and burns. The Sun
JRE doesnt give any errors, but the IBM jre shows the folowing output:
java.lang.StackOverflowError

        at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.run(ImageFetcher.java:189)

i ran into this problem while trying to install any and all of these
packages:
	jedit (opensource)
	zenddebugger
	altavista search engine
zend debugger & altavista wont run under kaffe,
so i would imagine, any other java based (or jre including such as
altavista search) wont run on the current 7.1 series..
The GIF encoder error, leads me to believe it might be a X problem?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RPM's for IBM JRE2 1.3 
2. include jre/bin in $PATH
3. install jedit / altavista search (trial avail) or zend debugger client
4. run the java program.. *boom*

	

Actual Results:  in IBM's jre:
java.lang.StackOverflowError

sun's JRE just hangs, does nothing	

Expected Results:  program should start..

If you install the i386 glibc package, does it start working?

Comment 2 Chris Chabot 2001-02-14 06:58:05 UTC
> If you install the i386 glibc package, does it start working?

if i rpm -ivh --force the glibc i386 package, IBM's JRE does start working!
however sun's JRE still suffers the same fate (hangs, no output or javacore
dump)

ps, rpm -e glibc ; rpm -ivh glibc-..i386 can cause u to have to reinstall ur
system i noticed, thus the testing took a while :)



Comment 3 Glen Foster 2001-02-15 23:09:08 UTC
We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release.
