There was a point (much later than 2.4.6) when on the OpenJDK branch Jikes
RVM printed out something like "1 2 3" as the VM was booting.

It certainly suggests that something is not right.  2.4.6 was from 2006, so
it is entirely possible that changes in the underlying Linux OS, core
C/pthread libraries, or gcc toolchain could prevent Jikes RVM 2.4.6 from
running on a current system without needing work.

I would seriously consider investing in forward porting whatever dependency
you have on JikesRVM 2.4.6 to a more modern version of Jikes RVM.
