Java VM: reproducible SIGSEGV on both 1.6.0_17 and 1.6.0_18, how to report?

Question

EDIT: This reproducible SIGSEGV happens on a Linux machine with more than one proc and more than 2GB of mem, so Java is defaulting to the -server mode. Inte

Answer 1

The problem is that the log file contains proprietary information that cannot be shared. Reproducing a "tiny test case" that reproduce the issue ain't realistic either

If you can't provide Sun with a reproducible test case, they won't even look at it. Chance are good that they will ignore it even if you do provide a usable test case. The bug submission process at Sun leaves a lot to be desired.

Should I report this and how?

If you can't come up with a reproducible test case, don't bother. If they can't reproduce the issue, what do you expect them to do?

Note that the exact same application, on exactly the same hardware, with exactly the same JVM but another version of Linux (I had Debian Etch previously) did NOT trigger that SIGSEGV once.

Does it work on a different box with the same hardware and same version of Linux?
