    Description

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version " 1.6.0_29 "
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11)
      Oracle JRockit(R) (build R28.2.2-7-148152-1.6.0_29-20111221-2103-windows-ia32, compiled mode)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
      Microsoft Windows 8 Professional

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When TlsAlloc() is called successfully for 64 or more times to allocate 64 thread local storage slots and JNI_CreateJavaVM is then used to initialize the jrockit JVM, the initialization fails with the error:
      [ERROR] Could not find allocated thread local data key in TIB.
      [ERROR] Could not create Fast TLD.
      JRockit aborted: Unspecified error (52)

      The reason is because within the jvm.dll, TlsAlloc is first called to allocate a new TLS slot and then subsequently, TLSSetValue is called to set the TLS slot to a value 4711. A pointer is then used to iterate through from the start of the thread environment/information block(TEB/TIB) 4 bytes at a time until 8192 bytes past the start of the TEB/TIB. If it fails to find 4711 within this range of bytes, then the error above occurs. However, because windows only has space in the TEB/TIB for 64 TLS slots, any more slots allocated would be stored in a list pointed to by a pointer in the TEB/TIB called TlsExpansionSlots as stated in:
      http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686708%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
      Hence, the logic in the jvm.dll would not be able to find value set in the TLS slot within the TEB/TIB itself unless it follows the TlsExpansionSlots pointer to the list.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      In a C program,
      Allocate 64 TLS slots by calling TLSAlloc() 64 times successfully
      Call JNI_CreateJavaVM to initialize the jrockit JVM

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -

      [ERROR] Could not find allocated thread local data key in TIB.
      [ERROR] Could not create Fast TLD.
      JRockit aborted: Unspecified error (52)
      ACTUAL -

      [ERROR] Could not find allocated thread local data key in TIB.
      [ERROR] Could not create Fast TLD.
      JRockit aborted: Unspecified error (52)

      ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :

      [ERROR] Could not find allocated thread local data key in TIB.
      [ERROR] Could not create Fast TLD.
      JRockit aborted: Unspecified error (52)

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
