That's a new one on me, but Hardy has been the locus of a bunch of new JVM crash issues, mainly with Athlon processors. Also there have been some similar issues with 64-bit under Red Hat and Fedora. This is the Sun JVM I get installing sun-java6-jdk from multiverse, and I don't get JVM crashes on P4, Centrino, or Core Duo.
java version "1.6.0_06" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode, sharing) Where did you get yours from? Direct Sun download? Hardy tries very hard to use OpenJDK, which also doesn't crash for me on P4, Centrino, or Core Duo. - Rob
