System: NetBSD slab 1.6ZK NetBSD 1.6ZK (GENERIC_LAPTOP) #0: Thu Mar 4 09:47:27 UTC 2004 autobuild@tgm.netbsd.org:/autobuild/HEAD/i386/OBJ/autobuild/HEAD/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC_LAPTOP i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
I just installed the IBM JDK 1.4.1 from
Running the java JVM command is ok.
Invoking the java compiler (javac) causes a crash.
The walkback is as follows:
--------------------------------------------------
fatal protection fault in supervisor mode
trap type 4 code(ffd4 eip c0100d65 cs 8 eflags 10046 cr2 8 ilevel 0
panic: trap
Begin traceback...
trap() at netbsd:trap+0x141
--- trap (number 4) ---
netbsd:Xsyscall+0x95:
End traceback...
--------------------------------------------------
and the machine hangs. This was run from a non-root user,
and the limits are:
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size (kbytes, -d) 131072
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 83274
max memory size (kbytes, -m) 249824
open files (-n) 64

cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 160

>How-To-Repeat:
I'm running NetBSD 1.6ZK from
releng.netbsd.org:pub/NetBSD-daily/current/200403030000/i386/binary/kernel/NetBSD-GENERIC_LAPTOP.gz.
Download the IBM JDK 1.4.1 from
<https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p>. Coose the
`IBM SDK for 32-bit xSeries (Intel compatible)'. (Or
alternatively, open
<http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux140/>,
and choose `Download' in the Contents). Create a user id,
or e-mail me for my ID.
Download the SDK (listed as `tgz format: IBMJava2-SDK-141.tgz
53.2MB'). Just unzip it somewhere, say /var/tmp/; it will create
an IBMJava2-141. Execute the following:
$ export JAVA_HOME=..../IBMJava2-141/
$ export JRE_HOME=/usr/local/installs/IBMJava2-141//jre
$ export JDK_HOME=/usr/local/installs/IBMJava2-141/
$ export PATH=$JDK_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$PATH
And then try running the JVM:
$ java -version
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1)
Classic VM (build 1.4.1, J2RE 1.4.1 IBM build cxia321411-20030930 (JIT enabled: jitc))
$
And now try the compiler:
$ javac -version
And watch the machine die.
I have the following suse_* packages installed:
$ pkgver suse_*
suse_x11-7.3nb2 Linux compatibility package for X11 binaries
suse_compat-7.3 Linux compatibility package with old shared libraries
suse_gtk-7.3 Linux compatibility package for GTK binaries
suse_base-7.3nb4 Linux compatibility package
