Return Code 128

[Baba O'Reilly]

I have a Java program which is running under ksh via Windows SFU 3.5
When I check the value of $? (return code of the last command in Unix in case you don't know)
it shows me 128. I have no idea what this means, although some googling has pointed me
to a problem with the JVM. Can anyone elaborate on this for me? Would specifying more
memory when the program runs help?

I'm stuck

Thanks

You need to read the docs on the program that generated it. Generally
the higher the number the more terrible the way the program
terminated.

Alrighty then, it looks like the error is being generated by ksh rather
than Java. I'll have to look further into this as MS SFU 3.5 is what we
are running our stuff under.
