Hung JVM consuming 100% CPU

[Y. Srinivas Ramakrishna]

Hi Bogdan --

I agree with Jon that this is not 6692906.
Rather it's a case of a bug in object size computation
causing the GC to go awry. There _were_ a few related
bugs fixed in this area not long ago (in 6u23 i believe),
so I believe you'll find that the upgrade to 6u23
or higher would fix this problem.
If you find that the latest 6uXX update (6u24?) still
exhibits this problem, please file a new bug via your
Java support channel and let us know.

thanks!
