reading thread name

[Nagy1981]

Hi, 
I am modifying the CPP Interpreter such that the InterpreterRuntime function
below gets invoked on each Java bytecode method call:

IRT_ENTRY(void, InterpreterRuntime::CCT_update(JavaThread *thread, int
type))
	
  	static methodOop current = NULL;	// calling method
  	 
  	static int bci = -1;		     // call-site

	
	// ignore non-java threads
  	if (!thread->is_Java_thread())
  		return;
  	
  	// ignore non-named threads
  	if (strcmp(thread->name(), "Unknown Thread") == 0)
  		return;
...

The funtion should return, if the name of the thread is "Unknown Thread".
This works fine for a simple HelloWorld program, but when I try one of
DaCapo benchmarks the execution fails with the following error:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 32756 bytes for ChunkPool::allocate.
Out of swap space?
#
#  Internal Error (allocation.cpp:117), pid=27659, tid=3084180368
#  Error: ChunkPool::allocate
#
# Java VM: OpenJDK Server VM (13.0-b02 interpreted mode linux-x86 )

#

#
Aborted

After trying to debug the code, I found that the problem is with the call to
thread->name(). When I remove it, the execution terminates successfully. It
seems that successive calls to thread->name() induces some sort of memory
leakage. Is this a bug in hotspot or is there something I am missing here ? 

thanks,
