I am running into a curious problem running JBoss on SLES8 31-bit on VM4.3.  The
instance has been allocated 128Mb of physical memory and approx 512Mb of swap.
We have the VM configured to use QDIO with the OSA adapter in the z/800.

I'm currently testing this problem using IBMJava2-s390-131 and IBMJava2-s390-141.

The problem I am experiencing is that the instance the JBoss container is running
on will, after JBoss has been up and running (and unused) for sometime, hit 100%
CPU usage, and there is no way to regain access or control of the box short of a
hard-restart.

We believe we have narrowed the problem down to the java virtual machine and/or
JBoss 3.2.3.    The following is output from top that was left running before the
instance crashed.  You'll note that the JBoss java processes have run amok.

At this point, we are persuing the path of trying to determine what, if anything,
JBoss is doing outside of a user request.  We are trying to determine 1) why are
the processes for JBoss in the running state, it should be entirely idle; 2) why
does the SIZE of the java process differ from when we first start JBoss (roughly
73600); 3) why does the RSS differ from when we first start JBoss (roughly 71M).

Basically, I'm curious if anyone in the JBoss community is running JBoss with the
IBM JVM on Linux for z/Series successfully.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
