Urgh, I _so_ hate java.

Why does it have to pop up windows split between my screens, total fail.

In any case, I run it like:

   java -jar SPECjvm2008.jar --benchmarkThreads 40

because I have 40 cpus (2 sockets * 10 cores/socket * 2 threads/core).

It seems to produce numbers, but then ends with a splat:

WTF a benchmark needs that crap is beyond me, but whatever, I have
numbers.

I'll try and reproduce.
