Java Runtime Bugs

SPECjvm98 running on JVM 1.2 Might Hang on Ultra 60 systems (4340306)

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 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.
