JVM crash with Server 1.6.0_18 (hotspot 16.0) on Win64 but not 1.6.0_16

Mon Mar 29 17:14:35 PDT 2010

Hi,

I apologise in advance if posting here is not appropriate.  Posting to
the Sun's forums and submitting a bug report 5 weeks ago has generated
no activity at all.

We have a complex data processing application involving many threads
that is both memory and I/O intensive.  We recently upgraded our
application to 1.6.0_18 from 1.6.0_16, and have found the application
can crash after just a few minutes of processing on some data sets,
with both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of the server JVM on Win64.
Before this upgrade, the application can run solidly for many hours or
days without issue.

I noticed other people have reported similar findings in the forum
post here: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5424728.

Interestingly, the client VM was stable.

I have attached the output from -verbose:gc and the crash file.  Is
there any interest from members on what we can do to get to the bottom
of this?  I am happy to run any diagnostics to find more information.

David
