Debugging SIGSEGV Java Fatal Error in libjvm.so

Question

I am trying to launch the pier inside the Centos 5.7 suitcase (it works fine on "real" computers, tested on CentOS and Linu Mint). This is a header error:

# # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00002abb2551a8b1, pid=4299, tid=1105414464 # # JRE version: 6.0_37-b06 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.12-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 ) # Problematic frame: # V [libjvm.so+0x87a8b1] YieldingFlexibleWorkGang::start_task(YieldingFlexibleGangTask*)+0x11 # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /usr/local/jetty-7.6.7/bin/hs_err_pid4299.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # Aborted 

I have attached the magazine here: https://raw.github.com/gist/4067152/3ce91df20828ba1d83271aacbc56c985a4e22ab1/gistfile1.txt

I'm trying to get some tips. :) Already searched google and the error database at http://bugs.sun.com/ .

Thanks!

If you can easily reproduce this, you must configure your system to dump the kernel.

Using ulimit -c unlimited will allow your system to dump this in the next SIGSEGV event. After creating the core dump file, you can examine it using gdb .

See Determining the Place of Failure for details on which parameters to use to determine the cause.
