I will likely try these out in the near future. In the meantime, I figured out why the JVM crashed 100% of the time. The system I was using for experimenting with java is a UML instance ( at linode.com ), and I had recently upgraded my linode to a 2.6 series kernel. This combination of 2.6 kernel + UML apparently doesn't play nicely with GNUtls. I hadn't noticed anything that was broken by the upgrade 2 weeks prior, so it didn't occur to me that it may have been the problem, but it was. Doing a "mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled" cleared up the problem with java. I'm still not sure what effects it will have on my system to have GNUtls disabled. I still need to research that. I learned about the solution by chatting with the people in the #linode IRC channel. Couldn't find a shred or a hint about it in Google or anywhere else. So, maybe this message will help somene when it is archived. Wade Curry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
