Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jon, i can already hear you saying get a new JVM, but please read first: Linux Kerner Version 2.2.13 JServ Version 1.1 Apache Version 1.3.12 Whenever we try to access a properties file with getResourceAsStream() we can reproduce a segfault in java.util.ZipFile.read() (a native method). This does only happen when the the properties are packed into a jar file which is loaded by the jserv classloader. It does not happen when the properties file is not packed in the jar and it does not happen when we use the system classloader. In my opinion the mechanism in the jserv classloader does not check some error condition which the system classloader does. I do know that the method java.util.ZipFile.read() should not segfault under any conditions, but it does and so we have to live with it. But it might be a possibility to avoid this error condition one step before in the class loader. Before we try to solve that i´d like to know wether someone has already solved this problem. If not who can give a hint were to start.
