I've been trying to run some FreeBSD4 packages
inside a jail on a FreeBSD6 / amd64 box; and I've
hit a problem with ports/jdk.
A couple of places the VM uses an array of
integers, puts code in it, and executes it.
This doesn't work on machines where the CPU
honors the PROT_EXEC settings; this can be
different on different machines (depending on
BIOS settings probably).
The right fix is to call mprotect() from jdk to allow
execution of the memory in question, something like this:
