Hi, i used a symbolic link to point to the JDK 1.2pre2, this crashed my whole Linux!!!! : in /usr/local: drwxr-xr-x 9 marcel users 1024 Jun 9 15:03 jdk1.2Pre2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 marcel users 10 Jun 8 21:47 jdk ->jdk1.2Pre2 in conjunction with using: 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 This fixed the problem: --------------- echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH .:/usr/local/jdk1.2Pre2/jre/lib/i386:/usr/local/jdk1.2Pre2/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:/usr/local/jdk1.2Pre2/jre/lib/i386/classic So the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not allowed to follow a symbolic link in this JDK 2 distribution! Perhaps this dependency on a symbolic link should be resolved in a future release. thanks Juergen Kreileder for you support, Marcel > 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
