Hi, I second Vincent's request.
I'm using SuSe 7.3 on a Sparc Netra T1 machine. I have a Java application that uses JDBC and JavaMail. The process sends thousands of mail messages. Under the current 1.3.0 JVM sparc port (no jit?, no hotspot?), the process dies with a OutOfMemory exception after about 2 hours. This is strange because my application doesn't keep big objects in memory. So, I tested the previous version for the Sparc, which seems to be jdk 1.2.2 RC4 with the hotspot VM. This one runs correctly and I don't see any increase in the memory footprint during processing. It also runs about 5 times faster!. Looking in the Sun's bug database, there are some reports about JavaMail leaking memory. It was attributed to a problem with the garbage collector (classic VM?) failing to release some unreferenced objects under some situations. But that was talking about jdk 1.1 and a previous version of JavaMail, so I'm not sure if the leak is there. Although my problem seems to be solved with jdk1.2.2, we may need some of the features of the new JVMs in the near future. We plan deploy more applications on Linux Sparc.
