When testing with the dacapo test suite I've hit the following assert:

# To suppress the following error report, specify this argument
# after -XX: or in .hotspotrc:  SuppressErrorAt=/memnode.cpp:4035
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

I hit it every time I run the bloat test, either on its own or when run along with the other dacapo tests. I can reproduce it with a solaris / sparcv9 / fastdebug build on a 16-way UltraIV, as well as a Niagara 1 box. It doesn't seem to happen with a 32-bit sparc JVM. I also tried an amd64 build on my workstation and again I couldn't reproduce the issue.

Here's the incantation that uncovers the failure:

java -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:-ReduceInitialCardMarks -d64 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -jar dacapo-2006-10.jar -s default bloat
