I appreciate the feedback. I haven't had the time myself to research and |
2 |
thought I'd ask if anyone else had seen it. Before delving further into it |
3 |
and filing a bug report. (I like to try and figure out the solution or at |
4 |
least part way down the path before filing a bug). |
5 |
|
6 |
I knew the runtime was the old compaq java and have been trying to locate a |
7 |
source to a more recent release. Just some of the stuff I've installed on |
8 |
my alpha now doesn't work as the jvm fails. |
9 |
|
10 |
I'll try the patch when I get another shot at it and report back soonest. |
