Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for posting an issue we are experiencing with JRE 1.8.0_92 (other versions may be susceptible as well, not sure). The JVM crashes in the Windows native code and does not generate the usual stack trace you see with run-time exceptions, but does generate a log (see attachment, hs_err_pid15724.log). The root cause is unclear and still under investigation as we haven't figured out a consistent way to reproduce the problem, but it appears related to the use of the java.io.File class for probing attributes of non-standard files (junctions, symbolic links, or possibly use of file names disallowed on Windows due to use of special chars, but allowed on other platforms like Mac/Linux). The same Java code and JVM version running on Mac OS X (10.10) runs ok, suggesting that the problem is specific to Windows. I have also created a bug report, JI-9040363. Can someone (hopefully the developers) look at the attached log and offer suggestions on narrowing down the root cause of the crash? Thanks Vinay
