RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tim Waugh 2010-07-26 14:06:39 UTC
Description of problem:
The attached source file, built using gcj, goes into a busy loop after submitting the print job to a print queue that is not enabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-java-4.4.4-12.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a print queue and disable it (or: plug in a USB printer, switch it on, then after the queue is created switch it off again)
2. gcj -o print --main=print print.java
3. ./print
  
Actual results:
After displaying the name of the printer, the job is submitted but then the process goes into a busy loop.

Expected results:
No busy loop, process exits.

Additional info:
Found while investigating bug #595852.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2010-07-26 14:07:43 UTC
When examining it under gdb it seems to be due to the 'printer-stopped' string in the job-state-reasons attribute.

Thanks, reassigning to self to actually backport this for RHEL 6.1.

Comment 7 Jakub Jelinek 2010-08-11 13:17:44 UTC
Seems Andrew has backported this to branches/gcc-4_{4,5}-branch/ already (and other libjava fixes too), so it will make it into the 4.[45]-RH branches whenever the new releases are prepared for them (as that includes merging from corresponding upstream branch).
