Error 137
That Error 137 is "signal 9 (SIGKILL)" and added 128 for "core dump
requested". Typically an indication of a last-resort cleanup by the
kernel.
Has the machine run out of memory during the compile?
Can you reduce the number of CPU cores used for the compile, in an
attempt to reduce RAM usage?
You were right about the memory usage during the compilation. The
system is
an old one and has only 512 MB RAM and one CPU core. During compilation
of
openjdk8 it run out of memory. The swap file, which is 512 MB as well,
was
completely used. Shortly after this state was reached, the above error
message appeared, but the system __did not__ freeze.
The bad part is that I cannot upgrade the old system totally. The good
part
is that all other programs could be updated without any problem. Many
thnx
to the good work of the FreeBSD community. I really appreciate this.
I like to test some things on this rejuvenated beast and probably I
don't
need openjdk8 for that. So I can live with the situation. I only
announced
it, so that other people do not run into the same situation. But who is
running a FreeBSD system with 512 MB RAM nowadays anyway?

Met vriendelijke groeten,

If you really want to try and build it on that system and have some free
disk
space you could always add a file instead of a partition as extra swap.
