Not sure where to begin with this, usually I would check Java frames :

Java frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code)
j  java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec([B[BI[BI[BZLjava/io/FileDescriptor;Ljava/io/FileDescriptor;Ljava/io/FileDescriptor;)I+0
j  java.lang.UNIXProcess.access$500(Ljava/lang/UNIXProcess;[B[BI[BI[BZLjava/io/FileDescriptor;Ljava/io/FileDescriptor;Ljava/io/FileDescriptor;)I+18
j  java.lang.UNIXProcess$1$1.run()V+93
v  ~StubRoutines::call_stub

Although not sure what to make from this, any ideas how to go about debugging?

Answer 1

Unless you have your own JNI code, you've hit a bug in Java itself, and there's no point to 'debugging' it. Best you can do is look for a newer release of the JRE.
