I have an application that does a screen capture of the desktop and keeps rotating/zooming this image from within an app controlled rendering loop. The application uses a buffer strategy with accelerated front and back buffers to render the image. When the app is running, I am bringing up the console and pressing CTRL + C. This causes the VM to crash instead of exiting gracefully.

This crash is not consistant and occurs intermittently. I got the crash 4 out of 10 times. I reproduced it with jdk7-b33 2D PIT build on WinVista installed with Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS. I am unable to reproduce it with 6u10.

To reproduce the bug, run the attached test (java BufferTest 1). You will see the desktop image rotating and scaling. When the image turns vertical, press CTRL + C. Try this a few times and you will see a VM crash.

Here is the crash log:
