Late testing of the Solaris 8 10/01 operating enviornment discovered a hang which might occur on an UltraTM 60 with JDK 1.2.2_08. This hang was fixed in JDK 1.2.2_09, but was discovered too late to include in this release. If you experience this problem, please download JDK 1.2.2_09 at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/java/download.html
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.
