Hi,
                                                                          
I sometimes get a crash during deoptimzation in a debug build of the
Hotspot 1.5.0_11. The problem is that an invalid oop is extracted and
the VM crashes in an assertion when that invalid oop is stored in a
handle. The opt version crashes too in the GC when the invalid oop is
processed, but this happens naturally less often. You can reproduce this
with the attached program.

The crash can be reproduced on either Linux/x64 and Solaris x64.

Please compile the attached program and run it with bash:
                                                                          
while true; do java_g -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,
address=8000,suspend=n -XX:+ShowMessageBoxOnError DeoptBugTest; done
                                                                          
It will probably take a few minutes (5 - 30) until the error pops up. The active
debugging at least makes the bug more likely to appear.
