It does work after I set USERNAME to ASCII string.
 
Thanks,

    I suspect, without having access to a Simplified Chinese Windows
    XP SP2 system near at hand to check, that the problem is the line

        http://12.101.252.19/hotspot/xref/src/share/vm/runtime/vm_version.cpp#233
    <http://12.101.252.19/hotspot/xref/src/share/vm/runtime/vm_version.cpp#233>
        231 return VMNAME " (" VM_RELEASE ") for " OS "-" CPU
        232 ", built on " __DATE__ " " __TIME__
        233 " by " XSTR(HOTSPOT_BUILD_USER) " with "
    HOTSPOT_BUILD_COMPILER;

    I'm guessing the problem is with the HOTSPOT_BUILD_USER variable,
    which is set (via $(BuildUser) on Windows systems) from your
    USERNAME environment variable. You could try setting that
    environment variable to something more amenable to being in
    a C++ character string and see if that helps. If it does help,
    we should work on making our code more amenable to users with
    names in all Unicode scripts.
