I have an application that I'm in the process of doing reliablity
testing on. Part of this process involves doing a kill -9 and
attempting to restart the appliation. Most of the time, this works just
fine, the app starts up, and is able to use it's DB without issues. But
about 1 in 5 times, when I startup, it will throw the exception listed
below.

Any ideas on what might cause this? Is there any other information I
could provide that would help?

Thanks,
-Dave

We will take this issue off the newsgroup for debugging. You should get

In the future for JE problems you may want to use the bdbje mailing
