Java HotSpot

[Marc Ahrendt]

has anyone ever seen an error similar to what we are getting in our stdout for java (1.3.0.01) on an L2000 (HP-UX 11.00)

# Java version:
# HotSpot VM (mixed mode)
#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Unexpected Signal 11
#
# occurred at pc=c58c39b4
# Error ID: /CLO/Components/JAVA_HOTSPOT/Src/build/hp-ux/../../src/os/hp-ux/vm/os_hpux.cpp, 2998

...but our java guy did not find it helpful
(also is signal 11 the same signal that "kill" would/could use)

I recieved the exact same error using jvm 1.2.2.05. Did you ever get any resolution on this issue? I know that these older JVMs had stability issues, but 1.3.1.01?

Hi:

Signal 11 is SIGSEGV (Segmentation Violation) and could certainly be used by kill. I assume that the process detected and EFAULT errno and threw this signal.

kill -11 is actually the better way to do what most people do with kill -9. The difference is that kill -11 does cleanup while kill -9 does not and is almost as sure a kill.
