Do Not Use a UTF-8 Locale When Running Java Software in the Solaris 8 or Solaris 8 6/00 Operating Environment (4107762, 4334815)

If you run Java software in a UTF-8 locale of the Solaris 8 or Solaris 8 6/00 operating environment, the Java software may fail.

Workaround: Apply patch 108652-08 to ensure proper interaction between UTF-8 locales and Java software.

libjvm.so Does Not Function Correctly When Using dlopen (4270715)

libjvm.so does not function correctly if it is brought into the process using dlopen. It must be linked into the executable when that object is created.

Workaround: Explicitly name libjvm.so (-ljvm) and libjava.so (-ljava) as dependencies when you create an executable.
