Sorry for the lame bug report. I haven't had time to investigate much. But I want to make sure I don't forget about this issue. On builder.classpath.org we run mauve against jamvm cvs. Since a couple of days it gets stuck. Apparently always at the same point, since the log always shows: PASS: java.awt.Choice.getSelected FAIL: java.awt.Choice.PaintTest line 70: [1] -- boolean passed to check was false At the time of the hang the process tree looks as follows: 12322 ?
