java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In order to give C++ access to some Java code, we provide
an intermediate class that :
- creates a JVM (JNI_CreateJavaVM()),
- passes appropriate arguments to Java classes
- calls DestroyJavaVM() to destroy the JavaVM.

All goes well the first time, but when trying to call the
function again from the same application, we get the as
listed in the Error Messages section.

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_02-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_02-b02, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0 Service Pack 6a Numerous hot fixes for security issues


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The environment is a C++ application using the Invocation API to launch a Java VM.

The C++ code does the following (in pseudocode):

=======On Initialization========
JNI_CreateJavaVM() <<-- crashes here 2nd time
FindClass()/GetMethodID() for classes used
Create NewGlobalRef() for classIDs

=======On Shutdown========
DeleteGlobalRef for classID references
DetachCurrentThread
DestroyJavaVM <<-- returns 0!

Our code repeatedly attempts to shutdown and restart. The
second restart, the code crashes.
Here is the output from stderr when the JVM crashes:
#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Internal Error
# Please report this error at
# http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.4.0_02-b02 mixed
mode)
#
# Error ID: 455843455054494F4E530E43505000DF
#
# Problematic Thread: prio=10821120 tid=0x00A51E00 nid=0xf1
runnable
#

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The JNI_CreateJavaVM function should succeed (or barring that, fail with a return code).


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Comment out the DestroyJavaVM call.
This however leads to a memory leak that causes the application to crash after several days running.
