 | The FLOATING_STACKS option allows a thread to use more of 2Mb of stack. |
There are known issues when running on Linux and using the Native POSIX Threads. Our customers have reported that by using the LinuxThreads threading library they have resolved any threading issues.
Information: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/JavaTechandLinux/RedHat
The relevant environment settings are:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
The other possible values for this variable are:
If 2.2.5 <= LD_ASSUME_KERNEL <= 2.4.0, use LinuxThreads compiled without FLOATING_STACKS
If 2.4.1 <= LD_ASSUME_KERNEL <= 2.4.19, use LinuxThreads compiled with FLOATING_STACKS
If LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is not set, NPTL is used.
