Mixed mode, sharing ?

Question

Hi All
I have 2 machines running RHEL 4.5, one is 64 bit, one is 32 bit VM. The have the same JDK installed on them, but when I issue the command:
"java -version" I get a little different result:
On the 64-bit Linux:
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_16-b02, mixed mode)
On the 32-bit Linux:
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
Almost the same, except for on the 32-bit, there is a "sharing" parameter that shows up.
I'm trying to track down a weird application error that I'm getting, and other than the obvious 32/64 bit thing, the app is exactly the same
on both servers. Just wondering if this "sharing" thing might be responsible, but not being very Java-oriented, I have no answer.
TIA
Rick

Thanks for the info - just what I needed. As far as enlightening you, I'm afraid there really isn't anything I can do. I guess I kind of misspoke
when I said I was trying to track down an application error - it's more application behavior than anything. There are no actual errors
being thrown in any of the app logfiles, it's more of an application feature that isn't being consistent. Basically, it's a training application where student progress is tracked properly on the 32 bit machine, but not on the 64 bit. Sorry for the confusion...
