Running the attached program on an IA64 multiprocessor machine sometimes lead to problems because of the weak memory model of Itanium.
                                                                              
This means, that an object could become visible before its initialization is ready. In that case running 'ReleaseNewObjectBug' writes the message:
Test failed! Object release visible before initialization (use st8.rel on IA64)!
This could cause severe problems up to JVM crashes. Please correct this problem in 1.4.2.
