Yeah I will post some sometime soon, but they do all appear to be thread 
related.
So far I have found that running 6-stable seems to work better and 
changing the threading libraries around
I currently have this in my /etc/libmap.conf for using the older libc_r 
threading library and I have been benchmarking a Java servlet non stop 
for around 12 hours now and seems to be fine. I haven't really started 
testing on libthr yet but the libthr seems to work a lot better then the 
default pthread as well.

[/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/]
libpthread.so           libc_r.so
libpthread.so.2         libc_r.so.6
#libpthread.so.2         libthr.so.2
#libpthread.so           libthr.so
