Error description
Error Message: The Java JIT compiler hangs and consumes 100% CPU during the compilation of a method. . Stack Trace: {libj9jit24.so}{walker__22TR_ByteCodeIlGeneratorFP8TR_Block} {libj9jit24.so}{genExceptionHandlers__22TR_ByteCodeIlGeneratorFP 8TR_Block} {libj9jit24.so}{genILFromByteCodes__22TR_ByteCodeIlGeneratorFv} {libj9jit24.so}{internalGenIL__22TR_ByteCodeIlGeneratorFv} {libj9jit24.so}{genIL__22TR_ByteCodeIlGeneratorFv} {libj9jit24.so}{genIL__23TR_ResolvedMethodSymbolFP11TR_FrontEndP 14TR_CompilationP23TR_SymbolReferenceTablebP8TR_ArrayXTP18TR_Sym bolReference_} . A JVMTI agent or some kind of bytecode manipulation software may be in use, to log or profile exceptions, or to instrument exception handling behaviour in some fashion.
Local fix
Disable any JVMTI agent or bytecode manipulation sofwtare that may be modifying the Java bytecodes. If the problem persists, the issues can be avoided by using the -Xjit:exclude={...} option to prevent the JIT compiler from compiling the offending method.
Problem summary
The JIT failed to handle a rare kind of method in which all the code reachable only by an exception handler was not contiguous in the bytecode stream. Normally, javac does not produce such methods; they are typically products of bytecode manipulation.
Problem conclusion
This defect will be fixed in: 6.0.0 SR6 5.0.0 SR11 . The JIT was modified to handle this case correctly. . To obtain the fix: Install build 20090806 or later
Temporary fix
