Hi David,

The following might be of use to you:

We recently had a struts-based application that crashed seemingly randomly, and after 
a lot of work and debugging we tracked it down to a bug in the JVM (we were using 
Sun's 1.4.1 JDK ). It was reproduceable on several platforms (HP-UX, Linux, win2k).
We were not getting any dumps either on some of the platforms, the process seemed to 
just hang.

Note: testing showed IBM's JDK didn't exhibit this behaviour, but Blackdown did.

A workaround for us was to add the following parameters to Sun's 1.4.1 JVM:

        -Xint               Operates in interpreted-only mode. 
 
        -Xrs                Reduce usage of operating-system signals by Java
                            virtual machine (JVM).


A fix for us was to upgrade to JDK 1.4.2

For more info, try posting the VM messages you are receving here. They may not be very 
helpful to you (or me:-) but perhaps somebody knowledgeable on the list might be able 
to make sense of them.


Regards,
Morgan

- please could anyone point me in the right direction to try and get to the bottom of 
this.  Is it easy to run tomcat in a debugger so we can catch what happens?

Many thanks,

David
