Well, you're doing better than I am.  :-)  The linux jdk goes nuts when
I try using it on my Athlon 64 box under CURRENT, launching multiple
copies (no, not threads, I checked) of the same process.

No, none other than the workaround "solution" that appeared in the list
recently, I'm sorry to say.

I'm surprised you had no problems building the port under CURRENT as
well.  I encountered exactly the problem you're describing when I tried
building under CURRENT on my Athlon 64 (amd64) box.
