On Linux, libdl is (was until recently) not thread-safe. This actually made it into the Blackdown FAQ, IIRC. You get this kind of setup working using LD_PRELOAD on libjava.so (v117) when starting your main app linked against libdl.so. Some people claim that LD_BIND_NOW does the trick, it never worked for me. I also use native threads explicitely, this problem was more pesistent with green threads. Contact me off list if you need more information. The Sun tutorials won't do you any good, neither will embedded VM applications that link against Java explicitely or do not use libdl.so. b. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
