Naveen,

I tried Mix.java.load.patch on my 2-way Linux box. It hangs
consistently.

I tried the svn HEAD version of Mix.java. I can't get it to
fail. Can you
do an "svn update" and see if the baseline Mix.java causes your
regression
tests to hang?
I used "repeat 100 java -cp . stress.Mix" and the test still hangs
for me.
My guess is that Mix.java.load.patch is somehow triggering
classloader/vm
synchronization bugs. I worry that we will spend a bunch of time
fixing
legitimate bugs with no specific focus on getting chosen enterprise
workloads running. Unless an enterprise app exhibits a very high
rate of
class loading, I'd like to set this bug aside for now. What do
you think?
I think you are correct. We should make sure some app demands
high-rate class loading before chasing this bug down.
I don't agree. I think we should at least understand it (that
doesn't mean fix it if it's hard), but understand why it's
happening. Even a good faith "I'll spend 2 days trying to figure
this out, but no more" might well be worth it.
Nothing scares me more than sweeping unaccountable failures under
the rug.
Thankfully, the patches from HARMONY-2982 resolved the remaining issues.
