I’m spending some time setting up a new Linux environment for CONGO development – mostly because I haven’t used a Linux desktop for heavy J2EE work in quite a while, and I have a decent laptop available to run it on.
The problem is the JVM is crashing regularly on the machine. I end up with a huge crashdump file, but the gist of it is:
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f22e44e025a, pid=31427, tid=1077770576 # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (10.0-b23 mixed mode linux-amd64) # Problematic frame: # V [libjvm.so+0x1f125a]
Normally the JVM under Linux is amazingly stable, so this sort of internal crash is really puzzling. I’m going to post on the Sun forums for help, but just wanted to vent a little frustration here. Grr!
UPDATE Apparently this is a known bug in the JVM that is tickled on 64 bit systems, and has been around for a while. There’s a couple workarounds posted on the bug page at bugs.sun.com
