FreeBSD 7 and java networking

[David Taylor]

Hello,

I'm having terrible problems getting java working properly on FreeBSD-7.

I've tried java/diablo-jdk15 -- this doesn't work very well at all.
It coredumps running azureus and behaves very oddly running jbidwatcher
(my two current "test applications").

java/linux-sun-jdk15 and java/linux-sun-jdk16 do work with jbidwatcher.
In fact it seems to be fine (I had some problem with _all_ the jdks
disliking a MAXDSIZ greater than 900MB).  However, azureus cannot
be compiled (or run) against a non-native jdk, so I need to compile
my own...

I've tried compiling java/jdk15 and java/jdk16 bootstrapping with
all three binary jdks (diablo 1.5, linux 1.5, linux 1.6).

They all give the same problem:

Running jbidwatcher or azureus results in a mass of messages
like the following, whenever network IO is attempted:

I've put the full output of jbidwatcher at: http://www.yadt.co.uk/~davidt/java/jbidwatcher.out

There is also:

http://www.yadt.co.uk/~davidt/java/make.conf

http://www.yadt.co.uk/~davidt/java/loader.conf

If anyone has _any_ ideas (or needs any other information), please let me know...

This is driving me nuts!

I briefly tried writing a small java testcase to trigger the problem, but
my java is rusty and I ran out of time and patience -- my extremely brief
test seemed to work ok and I started to think it may be related to
multi-threading...  If I can't fix it any other way, I'll give it another
shot.
