For example on a 4 node box, I can say 2 jvms per constraint with constraint set to node and specjbb will run with 8 instances of java. I was running with 1 jvm per constraint. But when I set the constraint to node/System, I keep seeing this problem. However if I set the constraint to core (which means running more instances of java), the problem is not seen. I kind of guess, the lesser the number of java instances the easier it is to reproduce. -- Thanks and Regards Srikar Dronamraju
