FULL OS VERSION :
C:\Users\sixi>ver

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Windows 8 is running inside an OS that is running on a physycal machine.

i got the same error on a vm running linux also, but NOT with the stripped java file that i am providing with this report (running linux 64bit version of the same jdk - Linux matilda 3.2.0-51-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 24 20:18:19 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
application crashes shortly after startup.
Apparently C2 compiler crashes

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: No

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
start provider app with the parameters
java -server -Xms128M -Xmx128M -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+AggressiveHeap -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+PrintInlining -cp . ro.derbederos.hlfe.parser.Benchmark

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
application should end up normally after 5-10 secs but it crashes with
 Error: ShouldNotReachHere().

Apparently on linux box the C2 compiler is not triggered on the example. I think On stack replacement doesn;t take place and execution takes ~30 secs instead of 5 like on windows box.

on windows box PrintCommandLineFlags option reveals a parameter which does not appear as set on the linux box:
-XX:-UseLargePagesIndividualAllocation

also as you see below on windows box there is a line saying:
# Internal Error (opto/compile.hpp:420)
on linux box, when i get the error, it states compile:hpp:420 without the " opto/ " string in front of it.

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
workaround is to remove -XX:+PrintInlining
