Further context to this quote suggests that Linux 2.2 is being discussed.
Firstly, can anyone confirm this from a reliable source - it's the first I've heard of
it.
Secondly, is this still the case with a 2.4 kernel, in which I thought similar issues
had been very successfully addressed ?
Thirdly, It would be useful to have dates on documentation, so that it is possible to
tell when they become stale - if 2.4 does address this (I have no idea), or a better
Linux JVM has since been released, then it would be helpful to know when this
statement was made.
