Trying out various bits of java code, I can reliably crash the entire JVM with a segmentation fault in a couple of ways:
A) Running eclipse, and trying to set up a new project using the extssh2 plugin to check out some Java code from sourceforge, eventually the JVM crashes at some point with a segfault.
B) A more reliable way to segfault the JVM is by running Mozilla, going to http://games.yahoo.com, and trying to run the "Tip Top" applet. The JVM crashes every time. Other applets work fine -- I can run the "Dynomite" applet without crashing, for example. Its performance on blackdown's AMD64 JVM seems rather jerky to me, compared to Sun's i586 jvm running on a comparatively slower i686 box. But the AMD64 box has a slow video card, so that may be it.
Can anyone else run that Tip Top applet on AMD64, without crashing?
