I tries 2.3.2ds1-7 but I don't get 'java' working fine - it segfaults, as before.

To reproduce this, all you should have to do is:

1) download http://download2.bea.com/pub/jrockit/81/jrockit-8.1sp1-j2se1.4.1-linux64.bin
2) run (to install)
3) type 'java'

Hopefully you can then tell if it's the JVM at fault, or a bug in glibc.

	Sorry I'm not being very helpful!

I can't test ia64.  Someone else will have to.


With 2.3.2.ds1-7, I get:

merulo% ./ld-2.3.2.so --library-path `pwd`
~/jrockit-8.1sp1-j2se1.4.1-linux64.bin

===== BEGIN DUMP =============================================================
JRockit context dump produced asynchronously on Mon Oct 27 21:57:10 2003

If you see this dump, please send it, along with as much
information as you can on your system setup and the program
you were running, to support@bea.com. Please include the
file jrockit.30808.dump from the current
directory in the bug report. Thank you.

i.e. it crashes, but after going a little further.  It's well into the
JVM at this point.  It deletes its own core dump (what a bug...) so I
can't find out more.  Under strace, it installs OK.  This looks like a
clear-cut timing problem with their JVM; may want to report it to them.

'java' works fine and produces a usage message.

You may want to try -7...
