Compressed FileGDB data does not display in Globe on a Linux/Solaris platform

Description

On Linux and Solaris platforms while using a Globe sample, if a 3DD document with compressed FileGDB data is opened, a segmentation fault is received and the sample disappears.

Note:
This issue has been fixed in ArcGIS products 9.3.1 and above

Cause

The default thread stack size is not sufficient for displaying compressed FileGDB data in Globe.

Workaround

• Set the environment variable 'MWTHREAD_STACK' to a value of '1FFFFF' manually.
• Source init_java.csh/sh instead of init_engine.csh/sh, making sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is correctly pointing at a JDK.
  
  

  Note:
  There is also a potential problem with using the init_java.csh/sh file.  If init_java is sourced and there is no JAVA_HOME set to a JDK, the shell exits. This is due to 'exit 1' being used instead of 'return 1' in the script.

  
  
• Do not use a compressed FileGDB.
