That's true - and it's always safest to assume that it's your own code causing an issue and not the server you're relying on. > That said, I have had all sorts of similar problems with Redhat and > Ubuntu pre-packaged installations (ie RPM's and apt-get packages).

Yes we are using the pure java version (not rpm package) for this reason. The only reason I thought there may be a problem is that I've searched for similar symptoms and it seems that other people have experienced a problem too, but you're correct it's better to check our own app first to see if it's the cause.
