Hmmm... I finally found my trouble.
I've been using the Perl module Inline::Java with the 1.4.1 JDK to run
the picolo zooming graphics library from UMD, and if I create too many
objects (a few hundred) I always get a java reflection
error. Inline::Java uses reflection really heavily, and after a while
the IBM 1.4.1 JDK chokes and dies, but the same code runs just fine on
the blackdow JDK on an x86 machine.
I' tried the JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE=6 fix, but the code still throws a
reflection error. Using JAVA_COMPILER=NONE solves the problem totally!
The code definately runs slower, though.
Kevin, what if I have the following for my /etc/cpuinfo hack:
cpu : 604e
temperature : 27-29 C (uncalibrated)
clock : 500MHz
revision : 131.0 (pvr 0008 8300)
bogomips : 996.14
machine : PowerBook3,1
motherboard : PowerBook3,1 MacRISC Power Macintosh
detected as : 70 (PowerBook Pismo)
pmac flags : 00000007
L2 cache : 1024K unified
memory : 256MB
pmac-generation : NewWorld
Do I need a different setting for the processor type, because I've
pretended my CPU is a 604e?
Cheers,
jas.
