Re: starting collection, reason stop the world collection

Mr. Leverich,

Maybe it's just my time of the month, or yours, and it doesn't matter what you think of the AS/400, but I don't understand your response.

To my simple mind, I believe I effectively said, "I don't know, you'd have to ask someone who does" and speculated that the people who wrote the OS may have shared with the people who wrote the JVM. Possibly I'm wrong, and my apologies to anyone who felt wronged or insulted, but I thought that was a fairly innocuous answer.

Probably you didn't mean to aim it at me, but from my view, I got a rant aimed at me for not much reason.

I won't carry this any further, but neither will I ever respond to any of your submissions.

To the rest of the list, sorry, you may now return to your normal programming.

>You'd have to ask the right people at IBM about the details,

but the claim is that it's unique among garbage collectors.

Ah yes, the ever-present System-i "trust us, we're unique" answer. Well,
I don't care enough to go track down the IBM people, and to be honest, I
don't think they could/would answer the question anyway. The i is a nice
piece of engineering, but at the end of the day it's still a computer,
it still has memory, disk, registers, cores, processing units, etc.
There's nothing magical that can occur on the i.
