We found an bug in SB that:
1) triggered a NPE in SB code
2) lead to a VM crash in native code outside of the VM

We fixed the bug in SB and, of course, the native crash no longer happens.
However I think it's worth filing an issue for record.
May be someone will have time to do post-mortem analysis.

The SB bug is recorded as DTL-6285:
    => it contains a stack trace that I have copied below.
    => a jvm core dump file is attached to the bug (hs_err_pid6800.log)
