Hi, We need to clarify the message according to Bill's comments from a thread on this list last week.
Clarifying it would be preferable. The message is still correct for some
users, especially those using Tomcat 4.1, JDK 1.4, and certain Linux kernels.
Here's one data point on it.. Here is the setup that I used to run where I needed the setting: OS: RH9 i386 with kernel 2.4.20-18.9 (stock RH kernel) Java: Sun j2sdk1.4.1_03 Tomcat 4.1.30 (official release binary) Then, later, I needed Java 1.5.x features, so I upgraded it to Sun Java 1.5.0. At the time that I upgraded just the JDK, I knew very well that I have LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set, but I since I didn't upgrade the OS (same kernel & libs) I left that setting alone to see if it would cause any ill effects. That was a couple of years ago, and it has been working perfectly ever since. We should make it clear the message does not apply to all
situations, should not be standard operating procedure, and should only be attempted if you have an older Linux kernel that you can't update plus a stability problem that you can't solve otherwise. Or something to that effect...
Yes, that would be excellent. Thanks. -- Jason
