Tomcat on Linux:
---------------
Virtual machine crashes can be experienced when using certain combinations of
kernel / glibc under Linux with Sun Hotspot 1.2 to 1.3. The crashes were
reported to occur mostly on startup. Sun JDK 1.4 does not exhibit the problems,
and neither does IBM JDK for Linux.
The problems can be fixed by reducing the default stack size. At bash shell,
do "ulimit -s 2048"; use "limit stacksize 2048" for tcsh.
GLIBC 2.2 / Linux 2.4 users should also define an environment variable:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
Additionally, Redhat 9.0 users should use the same setting, to avoid stability
problems.
