Java code is invoked through JNI from a native application. A core dump
is produced by an explicit call to abort() function that is made from inside
the Sun's JVM code. JVM 1.3.1-02 prints the following error message before
calling abort():

# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Internal Error
# Please report this error at
# <http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi>
#
# Error ID: 53414645504F494E540E435050036F 01
#
# Problematic Thread: prio=5 tid=0x183c320 nid=0x5 runnable
#

The same Java code with the same native application but with JVM 1.2
doesn't't exhibit the same problem. Problem is reproducible with
solaris 2.6, solaris 7 & solaris 8.
