Do you know how long it takes to reproduce? The OP was light on details here. I assume that a memory access issue with the JIT would pop up pretty quickly, though.
I'm running an Eclipse development environment that's regularly compiling a huge codebase. Had 2 crashes this week after updating so less than once a day. That's assuming it isn't an Eclipse bug ;)
Just being curious: With or without having created a hs_err_pid<pid here>.log?
Why do I ask: Ten days now on 14.4. and cannot see any change in Eclipse and Tomcat behaviour.
