Local fix

  • -Xjit:disableLocalReordering would work around this problem;
    this turns off a JIT optimization that should not affect
    performance noticeably
    

Problem summary

  • The problem is caused when a pointer into the middle of a Java
    array (an internal pointer) is not updated by the GC because of
    a bug in a JIT compiler optimization.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    7.0.0 SR3
    6.0.1 SR4
    6.0.0 SR12
    5.0.0 SR15
    .
    The JIT compiler has been updated to prevent the problem from
    occurring.
