Hello,

I've come across a strange problem when installing a particular
software package in a domU. I'm trying to install DigiChat
(http://www.digichat.com/downloads.html) and the process is
immediately killed. I have installed the package with no problems in a
VMware VM, UML and native. ...Even installed into a UML, then copied
the entire filesystem over and created a domU started up digichat, and
the process is still immediately killed. The digichat program uses
java heavily ... anybody used this before? Is there anything about
Java that Xen doesn't play nice with right now? If you want to test
with it, it's free to download at the link referenced above.

Thanks,
Brian

Have you tried 'dmesg' to see if the OOM killer logs anything?
Also, try running the thing under gdb.
