My OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM crashes, what am I doing wrong?

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Ralf,

try to switch off compressed oops: -XX:-UseCompressedOops.

For implicit compressed NULL pointer check (as in this case) VM expects to get
SIGSEGV when loading from protected page below java heap instead of SIGBUS.
Could be the page was not reserved (there was bug 6947341 in VM fixed in
19.0-b04, so you should have the fix). Or OS throws SIGBUS instead of SIGSEGV
for some reasons. Note, address is aligned:

si_addr=4387303432 (0x10580F008)

Build fastdebug JVM and run it to get more information.
