Thanks for the quick reply. Well, it helps - at least now I know that I
have to go for the workaround and create my thread on the java side :-).
I definitely agree that kaffe should return an error code (and maybe
some warning message?) when someone tries to use AttachCurrentThread
this way. Unfortunately, right now I don't have the time to dig into the
code and try to fix it myself.
One more question: will it be safe for any thread _already attached_ to
the VM to call this function to get its JNIEnv? That would save me some
work ...
