Thanks guys, I understand and I recently raised this issue again w/ the J9 team. I am told that the TAR.GZ is probably not an option, for legal reasons which I do not understand. I am taking it one step at a time, and currently they would like to investigate this FST.pack() issue since it can lead to index corruption, and this is not acceptable.
I also asked them to figure out a process which would allow us (the community) to file bug reports and have them work with us on these issues. I hope they will be able to figure out such a process. I will update the list when such process will be in place. Back to the FST.pack(), from what Uwe says it seems it reproduces very easily (he tries new J9 versions, they fail and he disables the optimization). If so, does someone have an example such failure which I can ask them to reproduce?
