Are you sure about this? I mean that it all worked when compiling 
WITH_IPV6?

I'm trying to get the linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.07_1 javac to compile anything, 
but it just starts consuming 100% forever for a simple hello world app. 
There's no way it could build anything? What gives? Same thing happens when 
running the port jdk15 port gets to the javac part, or even running jar...

I just noticed that it does not happen every time. I managed to run linux 
1.4 javac on a simple hello world app a dozen times in a row, but on the 
thirteenth time it stuck, and the two javac processes required a kill -9 to 
die.

This is on a Dell 2850 dual CPU (with hyperthreading, so four "virtual" 
cpus), so it is not really an AMD64, but "EMT64".

I'm quite amazed that I see reports of java working on amd64. On this 
machine it is completely impossible, as linux bootstrapping jdk hangs all 
the time. Most other things work on the machine, although I've experienced 
some stability problems. Could it be a hardware problem?
