[Valgrind-users] Running Java 5 under Valgrind results in Valgrind silently dying

[Maynard J. <may...@us...>]

Hi,
When I try running Java 5 under current Valgrind (checkout from SVN today), it results in Valgrind silently dying.  The JVM continues to run, but only the java process shows up in 'top' output.  If I run Java 6 under Valgrind (i.e., 'valgrind --tool=memcheck /opt/ibm/java-ppc64-60/jre/bin/java test'), I see all of the typical kind of memcheck output, as well as the 'memcheck-ppc64-' command listed in top output.  I'm seeing this problem on IBM POWER7/RHEL 6.4, but I don't have a Java 5 available for my laptop to test it on Intel.  Is this a ppc64-specific problem? Or an IBM Java-specific problem?  Can anyone reproduce with Java 5 on an Intel system? Thanks.
