Azureus, Java 1.6.0_01 and Alcohol 120

The problem has worsend with Sun's update from 1.6.0 to 1.6.0_01, it causes the JRE to crash in several places during execution. This isn't any code in Azureus since Azureus is 99% java and can't access low-level functionality, so it must be a conflict between Sun Java and Alcohol 120. Azureus heavily relies on fast, nonblocking IO (the java.nio package) to perform file and networking IO, this is where most problems occur with layered service providers (applications hooking into winsock). But since Alcohol 120% is not a networking application and thus has no reason to hook into the TCP/IP stack it's probably some different, but maybe related issue.

Java 64 might behave differently because the 32bit and 64bit subsystems use different .dlls or whatever. But it's definitely a problem for many users on 32bit XP. We (the developers) don't know how reproducible the problem is since we don't have statistics on how many java 1.6U1 users have alcohol 120 installed and experience crashes, but in the last few weeks this has been the top support issue for us.

Im sorry but i dont get this, you personaly have not tested the problem ? you are relying on user crash logs, and advising to uninstall Alcohol ? the basics of locating problems with software is to reproduce the problem on your own system, after all you have your own debugging system. If downgrading Azureus,Java 1.6.0_01 resolves the problem then there is a problem in the present version, dont get me wrong we are looking into this, but you seem to have a negative attitude to the problem... is this because its easer to have us do all the bug checking and pass the ball onto us ? it works both ways we bug check you bug check and together we try to resolve the problem, alternativly we just leave it as it is and post a FAQ to our customers with this problem to downgrade Azureus,Java 1.6.0_01

It's an issue caused by the combination of sun java and alcohol 120%.
Here are some bug reports (including java crash logs) involving java 6u1 and Alcohol 120%:

Notice that uninstalling alcohol 120% or downgrading java are verified to work by several users.

This is not necessarily true. Whilst some users have experienced issues, I would assume others have not as I have ran the two happily together on two different machines under two different operating systems and hardware sets.

Anyway, i don't want to be antagonistic here, it's in our and your interest to get this issue solved. If you need further information from the users to investigate this i can forward your requests to them.

1) 64 or 32 bit Windows XP
2) What CPU?
3) Do you get this crashes while actively using Azureus or Alcohol120 or while it is idle?
Thanks,
