I sent a message about it working for me yesterday on 4.8.  I just
checked 4.10 and it also works for me (also with linux_base-7.1_7).

Add a -dl to the make of your linux-sun-jdk port and see the last
thing it's doing before it dies.  If it's a linux app that's being
run, try using ktrace and the linux_kdump port to see where it's
dying.

Which linux_base do you have installed?
