An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Function=mallinfo

[Sabine Bödefeld]

Hallo !
When calling a small Java program which accesses a database, we get a hotspot error which you can see below.
We use java full version "1.3.1.12-_05_dec_2003_13_05" on HPUX B.11.11 U 9000/800
The problem occurs on only on of our HPUX machines, where the Virtual Partition is installed (don't know whether that matters). For the rest, OS, Patch leve etc are all the same as on the other HPUX machines.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Kind regards
Sabine

Hi

vpars may make a difference . Signal 11 is normally maxdsiz or maxdsiz_64 in the kernel is too small and there is a memory problem indicated.

Compare kernels

Also

www.hp.com/go/java

Try
SDK & RTE 1.3.1.13 which has a load of fixes.

Sabine,

Any solution you have managed to get on this problem of :

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0xc0197304
Function name=mallinfo
Library=/usr/lib/libc.2


I am facing a similar problem with one of my application HP-UX 11.11

Please let me know the workaround for these.

Thanks in advance !!

Cheers
Meraj

Do you have PHCO_28425 installed?

Under severe memory shortage conditions,the application calling memorymap(3C) or mallinfo(3C) dumps core.

Hallo

after a long period of experimentation it turned out that the software we used wasn't compiled well. So it wasn't a problem of HP UX after all.
It is still strange that this happened only on one HP server, but the problem is now solved.
We don't have PHCO_28425 installed on this machine.

Thanks for your help,
bye
Sabine
