[kaffe] SIGSEGV running kaffe

[Mark and Janice Juszczec]

Hi folks

A little update on my tracking down the cause of the SIGSEGV when kaffe 
tries to run a class on my mipsel-linux pda.

I've temporarily ruled out using gdbserver.  I've only got 1 serial port and 
its running a shell.  I've got to research how to start gdbserver after boot 
with no command prompt.  Any suggestions?

In the meantime, I ran:

/bin # kaffe-bin -ss 1M -ms 1M -mx 2M -as 1M -cp /bin -vmdebug ALL 
FirstClass

and got the output below.

Any suggestions about what I'm looking for?  A cursory glance at the 
alloc/malloc information doesn't make the problem jump out at me.  I was 
hoping it would be as simple as trying to malloc something at 
0xfffffffffffff or some other such screwy address.  Alas, fate has not been 
so kind.
