[izpack-devel] Running IzPack with VM 1.5 without SigSegV

[Miraodb]

Hi Klaus,

Great thing that you look into this. I think not izpack is suffering from
1.5 but many other projects. looking on the web at 1.5 bug related issues, i
found out that many projects complained about it. I'm sure that you found
one problem (which is fantastic already ,don't get me wrong),  out of a lot
of them...
Digging into it migth take a while but it's worth it for user perspective.

Thanks a lot for that.

Trunk is fine for me too.
Once done with my stuffs, i migth look into it too.
I can send you a few links if that helps, for all kind of bugs and issues
i've encoutered.

Cheers,
Fabrice
