I get the following error when I try to create a JVM using JNI
from inside a large multi-threaded application.

  Calling createJVM...
  #
  # HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Internal Error
  # Please report this error at

  ###### ERROR: Abnormal shutdown of process 11574 thread 9.

I am running JDK1.3 on a Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6.  I tried
both the client and server JVM libraries with the same result.

Note : This same application worked fine using JDK1.2

Here is the stack trace for the offending thread :

Here's a snippet of their code:

N/A

Not enough information to provide a diagnosis. If user's application is setting
up signal handlers, see 4323062, 4345157 and related bugs. User would need to
provide a test case to proceed further.

Reproduced the failure described by the customer with the small test program.
Linking against jvm_g indicated problems with threading;   xxxxx@xxxxx  
suggested linking the main application against libthread, which solved the
problem. libthread.so should be linked before libjvm.so. A note to this effect
is in the JDK 1.3.0 Solaris Release Notes and will be expanded in the
documentation for 1.3.1.

Writting similar code on Win32 platform (NT/2000) with same 
results. Debug build works, Release build does not work.
