We have a test development & presentation system up and running using SuSE Linux 7.2 Professional, Suns JDK 1.4.0 and Tomcat 4.0.1 that shows no such issues. When we tested several different configurations, we found that Suns JDK 1.3.1 would not run properly, but segfault often on our system (P4 1,5Ghz/512MB); switching to Blackdowns JDK 1.3.1 solved this issue completely. Then we found that the JDK1.3.1 still suffers from many VM-slowing or -killing bugs like a network/garbage-collector issue ("many parallel connections" definitely ring a bell here), a multithreading JPEG encoder bug and others. After switching to Suns JDK 1.4.0, these bugs seem to have disappeared and we are quite confident regarding the stability of the system.
