Humm, kaffe-snap tarball generation is broken since Nov 1 :( I had
create some tarball on http://egp.free.fr/kaffe. Use them if you can't
use CVS Tree.

Why did I ask you is SP_OFFSET was 2 ? Default SP_OFFSET value is in
config/i386/thread.h and it's 4, no problems here.

Did you use this definition ?

Test thread system.
It work ONLY IF you have working SIGVTALRM and setitimer() and
ITIMER_VIRTUAL. Could you check that theses are true on GNU Hurd ?
I had discover that kaffe -vmdebug JTHREADNOPREEMPT Preempt produce:
started 5 threads
thread 0
[and infinite loop, it's ``while(true) continue;'' from Preempt.java]

use SEGV

Okay, get last snapshot (or last CVS Tree) and precompiled regression
classes at http://egp.free.fr/kaffe/regression-classes.tar.bz2, if kaffe
don't work, classes could not be compiled by kjc :(.
Then, build Kaffe with --enable-debug, install it and extract precompiled
regression classes.
For signals, use LostFrame, I write this test when I proting Kaffe to
NCR MP-RAS. I discover that page 0 [NULL] was readable so
((Object)null).hashCode() was detected to late, Kaffe lost one frame
context. Use it to check that your EXCEPTIONPROTO is set correct for
GNU Hurd.
In regression directory, export KAFFE_DEBUG=gdb and run kaffe LostFrame,
you will see usual (gdb) prompt.
(gdb) run
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[ it's normal, set some breakpoints, get $pc and $bp, and continue]
(gdb) break signal.c:nullException
(gdb) print /x $eip
(gdb) print /x $ebp
(gdb) continue
[ you should be in nullException(EXCEPTIONPROTO), check that eip and ebp
registers in signal context struct have same values that before]
(gdb) print /x ctx->sc_eip
(gdb) print /x ctx->sc_ebp
If they don't have the same value, EXCEPTIONPROTO is not defined as
expected on GNU Hurd (or sigcontext is not correctly supported).
For further debugging, you could source KAFFE/developers/gdbinit, it
contains useful macros as JITwhere that lookup current frame in jitted
methods.
