Hello again, > jdk/test/java/util/zip/FlaterTest.java can be used to compare different JVMs; > I'm sorry but I don't think we have a better test. See also the code in > 6364346 and/or 6507183. Sorry if that sounds a bit dumb, how can I access jdk/test/java/util/zip/FlaterTest.java? I rewrote the native method a bit (because I thought it was messy), so I am afraid I destoyed some cases - are there also correctness testcases?

I am no expert, but doesn't each jni-function block the jvm, like a synchronized modifier in java? I thought for this are JNI_ENTRY/JNI_END macros? I can be wrong of course, its just a guess. > I'm no expert here! See 6186200's discussion of GC & critical sections. Thanks a lot, very interesting :) lg Clemens Btw. No need to stress or hurry, its just a "holiday-fun-bugfix"
