signal handler deadlocked waiting on a malloc lock

Customer is using SunONE Application server with jdk1.3.1_07 as the jvm in it. They are occasionally seeing the JVM getting crashed.

When a SIGBUS occured, the JVM should have cored and been restarted by iAS. However, it did not and I believe this is a result of a bug in the JVM. The following is the relevant stack info:

If you notice, when the SIGBUS occured, the JVM's signal handler get's called to process the signal. I believe what has happened is the signal handler has deadlocked waiting on a malloc lock which is held by the JVM thread which caused the SIGBUS to be thrown.
