JVM crashes in cfree+0x1c with GC log rotation enabled
Issue
- Our JVM is configured with GC log rotation (
-XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation
). It recently experienced a crash and it seems that occurred specifically when a GC log file filled and rotation occurred. - The hs_err_pid file shows a crash in cfree+0x1c from a ConcurrentGCThread:
Current thread (0x00007f936009b000): ConcurrentGCThread [stack: 0x00007f93503f5000,0x00007f93504f5000] [id=12646]

- A core dump backtrace shows the crash occurs in GC log activity:
