Comment 19 for bug 86103

The Neverwinter Nights issue is unrelated to the bug originally reported here. The bug likely lies in a library that NWN is using, rather than in the game itself, and so is likely fixable. A backtrace would help in tracking down the cause of that failure.

Regarding the Sun Java bug, according to Josh Triplett:
> I worked with jcristau and christoph4 via IRC on #debian-x, and we managed to
> track down the problem with broken locking in Sun Java 1.5 and 1.6. It only
> occurs if Java finds the Xinerama extension, at which point it does something
> broken with locking and triggers the assertion. If Java never finds the
> Xinerama extension, it doesn't trigger the assertion for broken locking.

> The following workarounds address this problem:

> For sun-java5-bin:
> sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g'
> +/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so
>
> For sun-java6-bin:
> sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g'
> +/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

> The same fix (applied to the appropriate file) might work for other
> proprietary JDKs.
