Subject: Re: [jna-users] Possible issue with JNA causing JVM crash on
Solaris 10 x86

Hi All,
I'm researching an issue resulting in a crash of the JVM running our
application on Solaris x86 after ~3 days of uptime. Attached is the
GDB session output, as well as the HotSpot error log.
It appears to me that the crash happens when the Java GC is attempting
to unload the library native library, however I am not certain of that
The signal handler *does* appear to be called on the GC thread, but what
indicates to you that JNA is involved? It seems odd that the hotspot
stack doesn't provide any symbol information, since it seems you're
running against a JDK VM with symbols.
AJ: I have had the same crash on my application running on a customized
distro of Linux. The exact same hotspot crash log is seen in our
application logs as well.
Though I cannot say with absolute certainty, I believe this error
appeared after I incorporated JNA in our application. I never reported
it earlier because I thought the error might be due to another
sub-system. I am only mentioning it now because it _might_ be related to
this issue.
I am not sure how to run the debugger, but if there is any way I can
gather more information, please do let me know and I will try to get it.
Thanks
AJ
