Hi Sandro,
The RHEL machine is running on a VMWare ESX cluster....
So, the drivers are pretty much out of my control.

Subject: Re: Any reports of...
Hi all,
can you try to update graphic board drivers, and all X Window stuff (X,
window manager, etc) ?
In last months I've seen strange crash of JVM (6u24 and 6u26) on win xp
32 bit using SoapUI when I have a virtual Desktop manager (dexpot)
active. Just as an idea ...
Or change window manager on a user and retry ...
Hope could be useful.
Bye
