System: FreeBSD abyssone.abyssworld.de 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Sun Jan 16 23:38:12 CET 2005 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ABYSSONE i386

Port: linux-sun-jdk-1.2.2.017_2
Port: linux-blackdown-jdk-1.2.2_5
Port: linux_base-8-8.0_4


>Description:

	If one is running either FreeBSD 5.x or FreeBSD 4.x together with linux_base-8
	he won't be able to execute any linux-*-jdk (e.g. linux-sun-jdk-1.2.2.017_2).
	The reason for this issue is that if one executes for example ...

	-> /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.2.2/bin/java -version

	he will immediately get a core dump as follows.

	OUCH: nested memory code, to 1 levels.
	Abort trap (core dumped)

	After several investigation cycles I did elaborate that a downgrade
	to either linux_base-7 or linux_base-6 would solve the issue.

	Because of the just described issue it is not possible, for example,
	to compile the native jdk-1.2 for FreeBSD because it depends on
	linux-jdk1.2.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install either FreeBSD 4.x or FreeBSD 5.x together with linux_base-8.
	Additionally you have to install on of the following linux jdks to
	reproduce the core dump.

	* linux-sun-jdk-1.2.2.017_2
	* linux-blackdown-jdk-1.2.2_5

>Fix:


	Deinstall linux_base-8 if possible and install linux_base-7
	or linux_base-6.
