Hi,

My application has the purpose to parse and validate a large amount of XML-files and application is creating a number of threads that get a task from a synchronized list what XML file to start validating. When the thread has finished to validate XML-file it goes back to the synchronized list and gets a new file from the taskManger. I've debugged the application and found that the JVM sometimes hangs and is not responding to any kill signals, used -QUIT, to get a stack dump. After that 2-3 threads has starting to build the JDOM-Document the application hangs. 

Has anyone excepted the same problem with the build() operation?

Thanks,
Michael
