JPype

Hi,

I've managed to build and install the jpype extension
on a current cygwin install (includes Python 2.4.1)
It required very little tweaking but I get a core dump
when I try to load a Sun 1.4.2 JVM within the python
interpreter process, here's the program I'm trying to run:

#!/usr/bin/python
from jpype import *
startJVM("c:/j2sdk1.4.2_08/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll",
"-ea") #core dump at the startJVM() call!!!
java.lang.System.out.println("hello world")
shutdownJVM()

a python2.4.exe.stackdump file is created in the
current folder containing:

Exception: STATUS_PRIVILEGED_INSTRUCTION at eip=0022E7B9

Any ideas of what the problem may be?
Are there any plans to support the Cygwin version of
Python at all?
