I should also say. We have tried the latest 1.6.0_18 JRE from sun and see the same crashes. Also we've tried switching to java-5 64bit and also see the crashes. This suggests it could be something in the low level native libs called by libjvm.so.
Since these are production critical machines I'm trying a temporary switch to the ia32 bit JVM packages like this... sudo apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin sudo update-alternatives --config java and select ia32 java Will report if this is a good long term workaround - so far so good. -- Hardy sun-java 5 and 6 SIGSEGV during GC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
