[Jmol-users] Jmol v10 on TRU64

[Hans M. S. <se...@mp...>]

This is an observation relevant for the (probably few...) users of Jmol =20=

on Alpha/OSF1 (aka TRU64) machines:
Jmol v10pre11 crashes as soon as it tries to read in a file; the error =20=

message is

Assertion failed: loc2mode(x) =3D=3D loc2mode(y), file =20
/vobs/JavaGroup/Products/Java/J2SDK/fastvm/srcjava/sys/alpha/=20
compiler.c, line 3270

This happens both with Java 1.4.2-3 and 1.4.1-beta. The problem seems =20=

to be related to HP's Fast Virtual Machine. Starting Jmol with 'java =20
-classic' (thus disabling the Fast VM) solves the problem.
Jmol v9 runs fine with either VM.
