Yes. It's because the symbol table is removed from libjvm.so as part of packaging and moved into a separate debug file. So, unless debuginfo is installed, jmap can't find the symbol table. I believe at one time it was possible to tell RPM to omit the symbol table from stripping, but it seems this is no longer the case. Other distributions suffer in the same way (I've observed it on Gentoo as well). -- Andrew :) Senior Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
