[Bug 513680] [NEW] Hardy sun-java 5 and 6 SIGSEGV during GC

[drplix]

Public bug reported:

I have several Hardy guests running under KVM on a Jaunty host.  All
fully patched.  Since this recent update "updating upgrade sun-java6-bin
6-16-0ubuntu1.8.04 6-17-0ubuntu1.8.04"  we are seeing persistent Java
instability on application servers.  Crash with SIGSEGV - looking at the
hs_err_log files it is happening during Garbage Collection (GC).

Sometimes the crash happens within 20s of booting the JVM othertimes it
can be stable for days.

I will attach a typical copy of the Hotspot dump below.  Here's a
summary...

#
