intermittent hang on launch



Comrades,

I hate to ask this kind of question, but I am pretty much stumped.

Our Swing-based app (with a JNI lib) has developed a nasty feature - it hangs up while launching about 1/4 of the time. I can launch it 3 times with no problem, and then on the fourth time it will only partially load, and become completely unresponsive. I then have to use Force Quit Application to kill it.

I have tried to debug this, with no luck. My reading has made me suspect that some sort of thread problem might be causing this, or perhaps some sort of problem attempting to enable some UI elements during resource loading.

If I pause the Xcode debugger when the app gets into this hung state, I see that in the main() thread there is a stack of Component.enable ()'s:

#0 0x0000000e in java.awt.Component.enable() at Component.java:1127
#1 0x00000009 in javax.swing.JComponent.enable() at JComponent.java:3371

#26 0x0000000a in apple.launcher.JavaApplicationLauncher.launch() at JavaApplicationLauncher.java:52


Now, as I am copying this into this message, I see that #20 there is a very suspect address. However, this observation is not of much use to me, as I don't know how to interpret it.

As I mentioned, this app uses a JNI library which we are loading early on. I think I read somewhere that JNI and AWT-toolkit loading can get wrapped around the axle if not done correctly, but I don't know what the guidelines for this process are.

Does anyone have any insights to share? I am not getting anything in the debug console (no exceptions get thrown), and there does not seem to be any logical debugging approach.

Thanks.
