FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
vm_info: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (21.1-b02) for windows-amd64 JRE (1.7.0_01-b08), built on Oct 3 2011 01:39:25 by "java_re" with unknown MS VC++:1600

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
DELL Server R910, 32GB

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Maybe a unsuitable combo of GC- and memory-related XX options, for which there is no proper documentation anyway.


THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
we try to minimize GC latency while avoiding bad ParNew performance on hardware with many threads/cores

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
expcted: no crash
actual: crash
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
this text field does not allow nearly enough characters to hold the content of hs_err files. Maybe somebody fix this.
