[Jikesrvm-announce] Correction to Jikes RVM 2..0.2 Release Message

[Michael H. <hi...@us...>]

The message I sent yesterday had an incorrect setting for Linux/IA32 for
the RVM_FOR_SINGLE_VIRTUAL_PROCESSOR environment variable.  (It should be 1
for 2.2 kernel and 0 for 2.4 with glibc compiled to use the GS segment
register to access pthread-specfic state.)  Correspondingly the tar file
and user guide had the same error.   We have fixed this error and updated
the tar file as well as the userguide (both the one included in the tar
file and posted on the web.

You can either
   - get a new copy of the tar file
   - simply update the release notes file and your copy of the user guide.
   - make sure you have the environment variable set correctly for your
system and don't worrry about it

I apologize for this confusion.

Mike
