I've read that it is possible to get a Hudson slave running on [zOS (under Unix System Services).] (http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/Hudson-slave-to-z-OS-td2265091.html)
When I try it (even with the JVM option -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1) I get:

I am currently using Hudson ver. 1.376. Is it worth upgrading? Any other tips greatly appreciated?
