Hello,

I guess you all already know that a SIGBUS 10* bus error is not a Java error,
but a native error, which means that it is caused by a JVM bug that is pretty
much out of our control. We try to work around JVM bugs as much as possible,
but obviously, some JVM bugs are fatal. When you get hit by a JVM bug, this is
what you should do:

1. Get the absolutely latest version of your JVM.

2. If the latest version is still buggy, report the bug to your JVM vendor and
send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] We will try to work around the bug if we
can reproduce it, but there are no guarantees that this is doable. If it is not
doable we can at least keep track of which JVMs are buggy which will help us
help you. After reporting the bug to the VM vendor, try a JVM from another
vendor. If this fails too, repeat the steps again.

The Solaris JVMs are unfortunately known to contain many bugs that affect
server software. Do try the latest release to see if this fixes your problem.

Good luck!

Regards,
Karl Avedal

PS. How do you know if it's a JVM bug? Well, if what you get does not look like
an Orion error message or a stacktrace it is probably a JVM bug. If the error
causes the Orion process to die, it's almost certainly a JVM bug. If you get
core dumps, segmentation faults, bus errors, or other OS error messages, it's
definately a JVM bug (or possibly an OS bug, but that's much less common).
Orion does not contain native code which means that it can not create native
errors.
