sigsegv

Hi,

My application is experiencing cashes in production. The crash dump indicates a SIGSEGV has occurred in GCTaskThread

It uses JNI, so there might be some source for memory corruption, although I can't be sure.

How can I debug this problem - I though of doing -XX:OnError... but i am not sure what will help me debug this.

Also, can some of you give a concrete example on how JNI code can crash GC with SIGSEGV

EDIT:

OS:SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
