Just to be clear, a SIGSEGV is a "segmentation violation" (memory read outside process space), not a "page fault", which is a perfectly normal thing to occur during execution. The latter is a virtual memory matter handled by the operating system and should be transparent (other than a delay) to the application. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_violation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_fault The Wikipedia page for "Page fault" does indicate that "Invalid page fault" is a term that essentially means "null pointer dereference" but I've never heard that term used, ever. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuG7UMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAdLgCfUypdTf332QZ6JHyTzPlS4Lu5 4xMAnReYrzhvO9xiSS7qB331Tq5DwPpx =5cqn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
