I've had a few problems with the sparc port of the Blackdown JVM regarding threading issues and the HotSpot JIT. I've sent a few messages to this list already and have traversed the bug tracker without any luck. I did get a reply from a few people with suggestions, but none of them helped.\ Would it be possible for one of the developers/maintainers of the sparc port to contact me? Since it appears that my software environment is identical to other ones running Java without any problems at all (from the discussions I've had with those that already replied to me), I've come to the hypothesis that the issues might SOMEHOW be related to the hardware I'm running on (a 40 Mhz Sparcstation 10. Don't laugh. Please.). I figure it's probably a safe assumption that the majority of development and testing has occurred on UltraSparc platforms, rather than SuperSparcs (or whatever is in my Sparcstation). In any case, I'd be more than happy to offer an account and space on my server to one of the porting team members if they are interested in ironing out a few wrinkles in the current release.
