Just wanted to post this for future linux developers who run into this problem 
and end up pulling their hair out trying to fix it.  There have been numerous 
threads on this topic for over a year now, and it looks like the problem has 
finally been fixed by Sun.

A good summary of the problem was at:
http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=25AA65E0-45A6-2844-7CCF931D89B0133E

Problem: running early 1.4 versions of the sun JVM, CF on linux under load 
crashes randomly every few days with a hotspot error.   This problem only 
affected some setups.  

Typical error looked like:

Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x4041A368
Function=(null)+0x4041A368
Library=/opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/jre//jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so
#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error : 11
# Error ID : 4F530E43505002EF

And was traced to a bug in Sun's JVM.  

The fix was to use the "-Xint" switch with the JVM in order to bypass the 
hotspot optimizer.  It stopped the crashes, but was a hit to performance.

Well, looks like Sun finally fixed that bug in 1.4_10.  If you start getting 
hotspot crashes, try switching to Sun's 1.4_10, and leave out the -Xint flag.  

Regards,
Terry
