This means that java suffered a SYSTEM failure (KERN), and so when LimeWire went to do something, the system couldn't respond, and so the LimeWire thread crashed.

I haven't used 10.3.9 for a while, but if I recall correctly, reinstalling java would sometimes help, especially in a new user account.

We waited a long while for Apple to release a java that wouldn't crash, and so far I haven't seen any KERN failures with OS 10.4.6 and java 1.5. THe VMem problems are still present, though.

I know the LimeWire developers have let Apple know about such problems, but there is not much else they can do.

Wish I knew of a better solution than upgrading the system or reinstalling a new one
