Symptoms

A Java application gets a SIGBUS error at  StubRoutines::j<type>_disjoint_arraycopy where <type> is a primitive type, such as int, long, short, byte, etcetera. 

The crash can generate a HotSpot Fatal Error Log (hs_err_pid<pid>.log) with the following error:

If core files are enabled, a core file should also get dumped.  However, in many cases, there is a problem dumping the core file and/or hs_err* log, which results in neither being dumped or either of them being truncated.  See <Document 1317839.1> "Is My Application Core File Truncated" for details.

Several such crashes have been reported when using the iText PDF application particularly.
