Hi Dan, I suppose this could be one of our problems, Could this "illegal instruction" problem listed here be the cause of our sig 11 errors? (there is no mention of -i "illegal" in any of the error files that the JVM saves on each crash).
The "patch_final" link at the bottom of this page doesn't work, and I tried applying the contextual diffs to RH 7.3 (2.4.18-03), but most of them failed.
