This assertion has been observed intermittently during nightly testing of
service_hs_baseline. Here are the relevant analysis report entries:

New JDI_REGRESSION failures (from 2006.10.30)
    com/sun/jdi/sde/TemperatureTableTest.java
        This test failed the following assertion:

            Internal Error (src/share/vm/opto/type.cpp, 1950)
            Error: assert(bits,"Use TypePtr for NULL")

        on Linux IA32 Server VM (machine colfax003).

    java/lang/management/MemoryMXBean/MemoryTestAllGC.sh
        This test failed the following assertion:

            Internal Error (src/share/vm/opto/type.cpp, 1950)
            Error: assert(bits,"Use TypePtr for NULL")

        on Linux IA32 Server VM (machine colfax003).

    com/sun/jdi/RedefineCrossEvent.java
        This test failed the following assertion:

            Internal Error (src/share/vm/opto/type.cpp, 1950)
            Error: assert(bits,"Use TypePtr for NULL")

        on Linux IA32 Server VM (machine colfax003).
Another sighting in service_hs_baseline nightly testing:

    com/sun/jdi/TemplateTest.java
        This test failed the following assertion:

            Error: assert(bits,"Use TypePtr for NULL")

        on Linux IA32 Server VM (machine colfax003).

        There is an open bug for this assertion:

            6442502 4/4 assert(bits,"Use TypePtr for NULL") on linux-x86

        I will add this entry to that bug report.
Another sighting in service_hs_baseline nightly testing:

        Update: There is an open bug for this assertion:

            6442502 4/4 assert(bits,"Use TypePtr for NULL") on linux-x86

        I will add this entry to that bug report.
