[kaffe] Bug Report: assertion failed in mem/gc-mem.c (line 70)

[jrandom]

buenos dias srs y srtas,

I've been testing out a java application on kaffe (pulled fresh from
CVS on Monday) on my freebsd 4.8-RELEASE box (x86) and have received
an intermittent kaffe crash / core dump.

assertion "diff % gc_pgsize == 0" failed: file "mem/gc-mem.c", line 70
4
Abort trap (core dumped)


Nothing showed up in my application logs (the app does UDP, TCP, crypto,
 and a little disk IO), and what little remains of my gdb-foo told me
to get the trace:

I've just repulled kaffe from CVS and am rebuilding it now - I'll report
back if I can find any pattern in the error or get together a test case.
 fwiw, I also tried running a pre-NIO version of freenet the other day
(same box & jvm) and got the same assertion failure shortly after startup
(though others are reporting that their freenet instance lasts at least
a few hours).

Other than that, kaffe has been fantastic so far - nice job!

If anyone has any questions or things they'd like me to try out (or if
you want a 46Mb core file ;), lemmie know.

gracias,
