[1.4.0_02] Crash in 64 bit HotSpot Server JVM,, backport 4746263

Customer is trying to benchmark their application using J2SE1.4 64 bit on
E4500 and E10K systems, but are running into crashes. They have
tried with 1.4.0_02, early access 1.4.0_03 and 1.4.1 64bit
versions and the problem occurs in all with the server HotSpot
compiler. They have tried with 1.4.0_2 -client using the
32bit binary and the crashes don't occur, but the performance is
only 40% of what -server 64bit can provide.

The first crash message is seen consistently using 64-Bit Server VM
1.4.0_03-ea-b01. The cust tested with a 64bit fastdebug build of 1.4.0_03
and assert failures occurred assert(top <= end, "pointers out of order")
The stack trace is located in the attachments and the actual core files can
be provided upon requested.
