Hi, My AWT HelloWorldAwt.java invoked thru C++/JNI is crashing my Linux box! My first Linux crash after 3 years :-( It eats up all my memory 128MB + swap 128MB in a few seconds. The same HelloWorldAwt.java works well with JDK 1.1.x - JNI (C++ invoked) and invoked with JDK 1.2 Pre2 directly (java HelloWorldAwt) A none AWT HelloWorld.java works fine if invoked thru C++ - JNI on 1.2 Pre2. The environment: ----------- Linux Intel glibc 2.0x echo $RTLD_NOW true echo $LD_BIND_NOW true echo $LD_PRELOAD (i played around with this setting, but it didnt help) libpthread.so libjava.so echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/jdk/jre/lib/i386:/usr/local/jdk/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:/usr/local/jdk/jre/lib/i386/classic:. The properties in the C++ main program for JNI_CreateJavaVM() (which is invoking the Java HelloWorld using JNI) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- options[ii++].optionString = "-Djava.compiler="; options[ii++].optionString = "-Djava.class.path=."; options[ii++].optionString = "-Djava.library.path=."; options[ii++].optionString = "-verbose:gc,class,gc"; The output: ------- bin> HelloWorldAwt (my C++ programm) ..... ( many debugging infos from JVM) [Loaded java.awt.Insets from /usr/local/jdk1.2Pre2/jre/lib/rt.jar] [Loaded sun.security.action.GetIntegerAction from /usr/local/jdk1.2Pre2/jre/lib/rt.jar] [Loaded sun.awt.motif.MEmbeddedFrame from /usr/local/jdk1.2Pre2/jre/lib/rt.jar] [Loaded sun.awt.EmbeddedFrame from /usr/local/jdk1.2Pre2/jre/lib/rt.jar] -> here it hangs and eats up all my memory!!!! (its during the call to java.awt.Window - show() Any idea? thanks, Marcel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
