We have had a lot of problems with native threads on SMP machines, for
all JDK's tested (Sun 1.1.x, Sun 1.2.x, and IBM). This includes JVM crashes
and mysterious behavior which we can't attribute to bugs in our own code.
We are running fairly complicated applications with many threads and
"interesting" interactions between them. A lot of people may never run into
these problems because most multithreaded applications are not so complex.
The only way we've been able to achieve stability is to use Sun JDK 1.1.7v3
with green threads, which clearly defeats the purpose of using SMP systems.
Caveat emptor.
