Crash in Java2D Queue Flusher, OGLSD_SetScratchSurface

[Hendrik Schreiber]

Hey Anthony,

could you please check whether bug report with review id JI-9014446 was also closed, because nobody was able to reproduce it?
If so, the bug also re-appeared in the final Java 8_u20.

It seems to be connected to a message in standard error:

exception in QueueFlusher:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Non-Java exception raised, not handled! (Original problem: -[__NSTaggedDate view]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xbadd9a48d2ccbead)
	at sun.java2d.opengl.OGLRenderQueue.flushBuffer(Native Method)
	at sun.java2d.opengl.OGLRenderQueue.flushBuffer(OGLRenderQueue.java:148)
	at sun.java2d.opengl.OGLRenderQueue.access$100(OGLRenderQueue.java:41)
	at sun.java2d.opengl.OGLRenderQueue$QueueFlusher.run(OGLRenderQueue.java:226)

A new, corresponding crash log for OS X 10.9.4 can be found at http://www.beatunes.com/download/oglflusher.crash
The key part being:

To the untrained eye, the stacktrace combined with the crash log seem to indicate that the call 

    if ([ctxinfo->context view] == nil) {

in OGLContext * OGLSD_SetScratchSurface(JNIEnv *env, jlong pConfigInfo) of macosx/native/libawt_lwawt/sun/java2d/opengl/CGLSurfaceData.m somehow calls "view" on a bad pointer. Perhaps some more sanity checks are in order before calling "view".

In any case, I would appreciate it, if you attached this info to the original bug, and if it was closed already, re-opened it.

Thank you,
