We run a single Java process in the zone, and I am 100% certain it is dead (it doesn't show up in the output of ps, and the pid isn't listed in the /proc file system). > > Normally I would open a ticket with Sun when I bump into issues with > > Solaris 10, but I couldn't find anything in the bug database to > > indicate this was a known problem.

I don't see any issues similar to this in the opensolaris bug database, which is why I thought it would be appropriate for the opensolaris mailing lists. If anyone is interested in looking at the core files, I can make them available. Assuming this is an unknown bug, identifying the root cause of it would help everyone who uses Solaris and opensolaris.
