Please note that the test was reporting NULL return values from
java.lang.management.ThreadInfo.getLockName() before the
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION crash. It is possible that the
code that is calling ThreadInfo.getLockName() is not properly coded
to handle NULL return values. ThreadInfo.getLockName() is racy
with respect to thread exit so it is possible for the target thread to
exit while the ThreadInfo.getLockName() query is running. In that
case, the API is supposed to return NULL.

Here's the crashing thread's stack:

--------------- T H R E A D ---------------

siginfo: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005), reading address 0x0000000000000028

It's the VM thread that's crashing here. I suspect a NULL ptr
has been passed in via some API. The VMThread usually
protects itself against such things so I'm not sure what
happened here.
