Error description

  • Error Message: A SIGSEGV/GPF is reported when application
    attempts to load class
    .
    Stack Trace: Native Stack
    Trace:com/ibm/oti/shared/SharedClassURLClasspathHelperImpl.store

    er.run()
    .
    

Local fix

  • If the JVM is not launched with -Xshareclasses option then unset
    the system property "com.ibm.oti.shared.enabled", (or) Launch
    the JVM with shared class cache by adding -Xshareclasses option.
    

Problem summary

  • The problem is caused when the system property
    "com.ibm.oti.shared.enabled" is set to "true" but the JVM is not
    configured to run with shared class cache i.e. JVM is launched
    without -Xshareclasses option.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The JVM has been updated to avoid using system property
    "com.ibm.oti.shared.enabled" to determine if it is configured to
    use shared class cache or not.
