I believe that is the theory. So you probably did hit on at least an edge case which the jdk didn't handle as well as you'd hope - if not a actual jdk bug. > > But interesting that you think there is a bug in my code that could be > causing this to happen, its only been reported once by one user so going to > be difficult to track down > Probably in or calling into native. I don't think I said anything about it being your code. Although I would say it's possible it's your code. I usually tend to suspect mine first in these situations. Probably doing something strange to hit a jdk edge case.
