java version "1.3.1_08" 
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_08-b03, mixed mode)          

Has also been tested on 1.3.1_11

The customer is running with the server JVM, and it has fallen over 8 times in three weeks and produced a core file. It appears to be aborting in SharedRuntime::compute_exception_return_address. This is with the production build (i.e. no assertions) and so it looks likely that it is failing one of the three 'guarantee' conditions in that method.
