Small Bug?

We're seeing a few JVM crashes when the Tar Pit is running... the error itself seems to be completely random, from SIGSEV's to problems setting socket parameters. So, if anyone is running the Tar Pit code, we recommend wrapping it in an "auto restart" script... such as:


#!/bin/bash

while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
java -cp SMTPTarPit.jar com.slowspam.smtptarpit.Main 25 >> tarpit.log
sleep 60
done


These problems have happened on JVM build 1.5.0-b64, running on Solaris 9 on X86. This script is for Unix-like systems, I'm sure someone will come up with a Windows flavour and post it here.
