At least you have spawned a process. I get a segfault from the Java VM, in one of the X11 support libs, and the whole process crashes.

I'm running Solaris 8 (X86), and using the 1.4.2-b28 JDK and runtime. The system is patched up to date as of 09/27/03, so there are really no missing patches or updates for the system.

The actual error is:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0xDA0A14B5
Function=XtRemoveTimeOut+0x15
Library=/usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4

The function is the removal of a user-added timer, and is either being passed an incorrect parameter or missing parameter, or the library is pretty broken. I guess it's time to get truss running, and trace the calls to see what's what.

Could you post your Java version, in case I need to revert to a known working version? You can get the version by typing:

java -fullversion (assuming java is in your path).

Thanks,
