java / azureus core dumps if cputype is set in make.conf
Hello everyone, I recently rebuilt my FreeBSD 5.3 system. I updated the source with cvsup to RELENG_5_3 (security branch). This time i added the CPUTYPE, CFLAGS and NOPROFILE variables to my /etc/make.conf so it would look like this: CPUTYPE= p4 CFLAGS= -O -pipe NOPROFILE= true PERL_VER=5.8.6 PERL_VERSION=5.8.6 Building and installing world and kernel went well, everything works fine. I installed Azureus (java bittorrent client). The problem is, if I scroll a scrollbar or just go to the Azureus option menu, I get a core dump of java and Azureus will give me the following messages in the error log: An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Unexpected Signal : 10 occurred at PC=0x34C0CB3A Function=_gtk_tree_view_queue_draw_node+0x1B5B Library=/usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.600 ...

This controls processor-specific optimizations in # certain code (currently only OpenSSL) as well as modifying the value # of CFLAGS to contain the appropriate optimization directive to gcc. Has someone else had problems with Azureus/gtk2 if the CPUTYPE was set? Is there a known bug in Azureus/gtk2 preventing the use of CPUTYPE?

FreeBSD 5.3 freezes under heavy hdd load
Hello, from time to time my FreeBSD freezes under heavy hdd load and only a hard reset will bring it back to life with fsck complaining about 'Softupdate Inconsistencies'. I had this behaviour on 5.3-RELEASE, 5.3-RELEASE-p5 and now i have it on 5.4-PRERELEASE. I am using a custom kernel with SMP enabled on a P4 3.2GHz for hyperthreading. One hdd is a SATA drive and it acts fine. The other hdd however is an ATA133 drive and i suspect it to be the problem, since freezes only occur when it is busy (eg. copying much data from a DVD/HDD to it or compiling a port). Whenever the system freezes there is no warning or log entry at all. I used 'smartmontools' to check the drive, but there was not found anything and the hdd appeared to be fully operational. I have 1GB (2x512MB PC3200) in the box and memtest86 was ok too. Could the freezes come from a faulty IDE hdd (which would mean that I better get rid of it), or are there other possiblities.
