Retried the same test with:

-> JBossAS 4.0.5cr1
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=1
6942&release_id=443824)

-> java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
BEA JRockit(R) (build R26.4.0-63-63688-1.5.0_06-20060626-2259-linux-x86_64, )

Results are the same - the JVM core dumps on this test:
   org.jboss.test.cmp2.audit.test.AuditUnitTestCase

Core and rockit.dump file are here:
   http://people.redhat.com/dbhole/bea_compiled_jboss/Sept20_bea_1.5_06.tar.bz2

Created attachment 137057 [details]
This is a simple test class which when run with the BEA 1.5.0_06 x86_64 JVM, results in a core dump.

Attached a simplified java class that result when run on the BEA 1.5.0_06 JVM
on an x86_64 platform.

Excellent repro case, Vivek!

I've added it to the BEA internal bug report.

We like short repros :-).

Patched builds available at:
ftp://jrpgftp.jrpg.bea.com/cce/patches/CR284516/R26.4.0

java -version should yield:
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
BEA JRockit(R) (build 
R26.4.0-63_CR284516-68626-1.5.0_06-20060926-0859-linux-x86_64, )

Please let us know how they work out.

Johan,
The ftp location ftp://jrpgftp.jrpg.bea.com/cce/patches/CR284516/R26.4.0 seems
to be unreachable for me, possible typo in the host? Or is this an internal ftp
site?

 

You're right, that one is an internal FTP site, sorry about that.  I'm not used
to dealing with external partners / customers directly...

Anyway, Redhat has an account at ftp://jrpg-partners.bea.com.  According to our
internal partners page, Tomas Fitzsimmons should have a username / password
combination for that site.  The JRockit builds are in /CR284516.

The JRockit builds there are just tar files, let me know if you need installers
or whatever.

The patched version fixes the bug.

Thanks for the quick turnaround Johan and team!

I'm going to try to get this fix into the next round of updates (RHEL-3.9,
RHEL-4.5, RHEL-5.B2).

This will have to wait until I package JRockit R27.1.  Depending on BEA's
release schedule I may be able to package this in time for RHEL-4.5.  Otherwise
it will have to wait until RHEL-4.6.

BEA has promised me a JRockit R27.1 drop by mid-December.  Requesting exception.
