JNI app dies with "Internal Error" in JNI_CreateVM

Name: yyT116575 Date: 02/02/2001


java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-RC)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-RC, mixed mode)


I get the following error when I try to create a JVM using JNI
from inside a large multi-threaded application.

  Calling createJVM...
  #
  # HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Internal Error
  # Please report this error at
  # http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi
  #
  ###### ERROR: Abnormal shutdown of process 11574 thread 9.

I am running JDK1.3 on a Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6. I tried
both the client and server JVM libraries with the same result.

Note : This same application worked fine using JDK1.2

Here is the stack trace for the offending thread :

Here's a snippet of their code:

      jvmOptions[numOptions].optionString = buff;
      numOptions++;
    }

#if 0
    char** properties = java_properties.props();
    if (properties)
    {
      for (int i = 0; properties[i] != NULL; i++)
      {
Str buffer(S("-D"));
buffer += properties[i];
jvmOptions[numOptions].optionString =
REINTERPRET_CAST(char*)(str_copy_new(buffer()));
numOptions++;
      }
    }
#endif

    vm_args.nOptions = numOptions;
    vm_args.options = (JavaVMOption *) jvmOptions;

    jint res = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm_, (void **) &env_, &vm_args);
    if (res != 0 && // Failure
        res != -1234) // and JNI_CreateJavaVM isn't stubbed (see
