FAQ-O-Matic: What's up with the new kernels and this LD_ASSUME_KERNEL stuff?

	FAQ-O-Matic : Linux- and Solaris-specific : What's up with the new kernels and this LD_ASSUME_KERNEL stuff?
	Some Java JVMs (both from Sun and IBM) don`t work with the new floating stack feature of the i686 version of glibc. The failures are due to programming assumptions in the JVMs that are now invalid. JVM vendors are working on making the necessary corrections. Until corrected JVM packages are available, you may force glibc to use the deprecated stack model by setting the following environment variable: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 2001-Jun-25 3:01pm gyles19@visi.com
	Mike Shorter writes: I'm running RedHat 7.1 with a 2.4.4 kernel and Sun's 1.3.1-rc2-b23 without having to set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable to 2.2.5. It works with all of the Java apps that I use including JBuilder 4.0 Enterprise and the Java Plugin. The only exception to not setting the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable is Mozilla 0.9, as far as I know right now. 2001-Jul-02 4:15pm gyles19@visi.com
	Another symptom of a JVM which needs the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable: The problem: 5026 pts/5 S 0:00 /home/alannon/lib/j2sdk1.3.1/bin/i386/native_threads/java 5057 pts/5 Z 0:00 [java <defunct>] Java fails to to run, instead hanging in this state. Very, very rarely, I get a core-dump instead. This happens intermittently. Sometimes it will work just fine, sometimes it will not, with no discernable pattern. 2002-Mar-08 10:38am gyles19@visi.com

Previous:

I'm using KDE 2 with JBuilder 4/5/6 and I'm having painting/display/keyboard problems.

Next:

I installed JBuilder 5 on Mandrake 8.0. Whenever I build a project, JBuilder's JVM dumps core with the following message: An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x501c33a8 Function name=PV_ProcessSequencerEvents Library=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/libjsound.so Current Java thread:at com.sun.media.sound.MixerThread.runNative(Native Method)
