Error log is attached
A recent build of hotspot with MVM support also ran into this intermittent
problem. The JPRT test run is at...

http://j2se.east.sun.com/net/prt-data.east.sun.com/archives/jprt/2009/10/2009-10-15-033803.jmelvin.hotspot/logs/linux_i586-fastdebug-c1-jbb_default.log

Failing commandline is...

/tmp/jprt/P1/T/033803.jmelvin/testproduct/linux_i586_2.6-fastdebug/bin/java -client -Xmx384M -XX:+PrintGC spec.jbb.JBBmain -propfile SPECjbb.props

NOTE: Likely a build on RedHat and test on Suse Linux. Not sure this is material.
Also the test
com/sun/jdi/TwoThreadsTest.java
fails with same reason. Here is the jtr:

Versions are:
HSX 16 b13
JDK 6u18b06
The OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
It seems that runThese fails with the same message on the linux-i586.
