Re: GlassFish on Windows Server 2008

I read in an old thread on this subject that the HotFix did not fix the
problem and some folks reported it got worse. Would like to verify that this
is not an issue under Windows Server 2008 as well. Is there any test code
that exercises this issue available?

Thanks.
