The j2se regression test test/java/lang/Character/Supplementary.java
started failing with Mustang build b04, only on solaris-sparc Solaris 8.

It has not been seen to fail on windows or linux, or solaris-sparc Solaris 9,
or on solaris-x86 Solaris 10, but has been seen to fail on multiple Solaris 8
machines.

The presence of a core file, and the error message

execStatus=Failed. Unexpected exit from test [exit code: 11]

are indicative of a SEGV.

More precisely, nightly build b04-2004-09-14 works, while b04-2004-09-15 fails.
