Hi, I think your bug is related to Bug #97 in the jitterbug. Please give it a read. If so, we have just fixed that bug (which should greatly improve our vmark results!). Tests are being done now to make sure we haven't broken anything else when fixing this. So hold on and v4 should fix this (if time is improtant, you might want to ask the x86 porters for a pre-v4 build just to see if it does indeed fix you problem (one is available for linux ppc now). I hope this helps. Kevin LinuxPPC, MkLinux JDK Porting Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------- Kevin B.
