RE: Segmentation Fault

Hi Tom,
I tried to build my sample-programm statically with: "gcj -Xlinker -Bstatic
-lgcj -Xlinker -Bdynamic --main=sample -g -ggdb -Wall -o sample
-sample.java"
But the result remains the same.
Is it a threading-problem as Moinak Ghosh assumes? I did not configure with
a threading-option (neither gcc nor libgcj).
Ciao,
Gregor

This makes it sound like either a Solaris runtime (ld.so) bug, or
perhaps a bug in the linker being used.  Gregor, what linker are you
using?  Can you try a static link and tell me if it works for you?

Especially since the LGPL is really a pain when static linking.
