Steve, FWIW, this is not just a James issue. It is a SIGSEGV, and has been experienced with many applications. It isn't even just a linux issue; the same thing is documented on Solaris. Please note the following from a quick google search:
ref: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22Unexpected+Signal+ %3A+11%22+libjvm http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=SEGV+libjvm http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=SIGSEGV+libjvm The only reference I found to any possibility of application error was a note from Scott Ferguson on Caucho: "There are some cases where a missing synchronization can cause a SEGV if a thread is reading a object's field while another is modifying it. These would be very hard to track down." So far, I have not received a SIGSEGV, and I do use -server. I am curious as to the percentage of people who do and do not see the problem. However, since it is easy to add options via the environment, it doesn't make sense to put the -server option in the script. Anyone who wants it can do "export PHOENIX_JVM_OPTS=-server" when running James. With respect to the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL export, it has been recommended. I don't know whether or not Sun has addressed the need in later releases of the JVM. Sun is aware of the problem, but I think that they should should be notified of the problem. The more times the issue comes up, perhaps the more likely they will be to do something that either resolves it or helps to identify the cause. ref: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=LD_ASSUME_KERNEL+ java My suggestion was simply to give it a try and see if it helped; it would at least give us another data point. In any event, you can run James without the -server option. Some people had the opposite experience as you've had, and found that James was more stable for long runs with it, so they can just use the export if they want to use it. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
