I recently tried to create a C app that created a JVM, started a simple
Java class, and passed messages from C (or C++) to Java. After running
successfully on NT, I noticed that it core dumped when it was created from
within another C executable on Solaris. When I used Purify on it, EVERY call
to the JNI API was flagged with problems, and the core dump was happening
from a JNI call (unfortunately, I can't remember exactly which one...).
More than likely, the Linux JNI will suffer the same fate as the Solaris
JNI. Pity.
