A customer send a report related to the possibility of dead lock or hang.

INVESTIOGATION :
- When some error occurs in some portion described in c language under j2se directory.
- The current error handling flow in 1.4.2 and 5.0 is as follows.
    (upper line is caller, lower line is callee)
     JVM_GetLastError
      --> sysGetLastErrorString() (hpi)
            ---> strerror()
    At sterror(). the error message is extracted.

PROBLEM :
  The strerror is thread-safe in Solaris system, but not seem in linux.
  According to the "man" in linux system(RHEL3), strerror_r() is thread-safe

  "The strerror_r() function is similar to strerror(), but is thread safe.
   It returns the string in the user-supplied buffer buf of length n."
  
REQUEST :
  to change the JDK source code to use strerror_r() for linux edition
