Java Problems

[Peter <p.spamcatcher@rimuhosting.com>]

Hi.  This post follows on from:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-04/msg00185.html

And is possibly related to the bug referenced here:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;:YfiG?bug_id=4335360

In summary: Java processes are doing odd things.

1) It appears that number values are mysteriously changing.  e.g. if you 
look at the Hashtable error there is no way the IllegalArgumentException 
could be thrown, unless the float value passed into a function is being 
corrupted somehow on the stack.

2) I'm seeing JVM crashes (e.g. the ColorModel crash below).  I'm seeing 
other crashes inside native code methods in other apps I'm running.

I've tried this with/without /lib/tls.  And on a RHEL4 and Debian Sarge 
DomU.

I don't see either problem when the same app runs on a non-Xen server.

Guesswork: I notice that SSE comes up in related to other reports of 
this bug (http://www.tommesani.com/SSE.html, 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;:YfiG?bug_id=4948500). 
Perhaps there is some kind of register corruption going on?  Or 
something that could corrupt float arguments on the stack?  And if 
that's the case then this could be something with wider implications 
than just Java processes.

Does anyone have any ideas what it might be?  If you're interested in 
tracking it down, the following test case may help.
