ThreadLocalStorage::thread returns NULL

[Dennis Aldover]

Hi,

New to zero-dev... I'm testing my fastdebug build, cross-compiled for
mips, and getting a runtime assert in
hotspot/src/share/vm/thread.hpp:627.

Does this ring a bell, on what could cause the
ThreadLocalStorage::thread() to return NULL? Is that an acceptable
runtime behavior?

Thread* thread = ThreadLocalStorage::thread();
assert(thread != NULL, "just checking");

Thanks.
