FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode)


FULL OS VERSION :
SunOS gizmo 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a problem using the JNI interface to call some library methods
written in java from some C code. The C code uses SIGUSR1 for
asynchronous events. However JNI_CreateJavaVM unblocks SIGUSR1
even if I supply the "-XX:+UseAltSigs" option.

The C code relies on the fact that SIGUSR1 is normally blocked and
only handled after a sigwait() call. However after the Java VM is
initialised SIGUSR1 is unblocked.

This prevents our entire application working at all! The problem
was introduced in Java 1.4.1 and still persists in version 1.4.2

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Build and run the supplied test program that uses the JNI.

Follow the instructions.



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
We should get the output:

Before call to JNI_CreateJavaVM
SIGUSR1 is blocked
After call to JNI_CreateJavaVM
SIGUSR1 is blocked!
  From another terminal send the signal SIGUSR1 to this process
Using the command: 'kill -USR1 ...'

++ SIGUSR1 ++

ACTUAL -
Before call to JNI_CreateJavaVM
SIGUSR1 is blocked
After call to JNI_CreateJavaVM
SIGUSR1 is _NOT_ blocked!
  From another terminal send the signal SIGUSR1 to this process
Using the command: 'kill -USR1 26760'
