Recent Tomcat crash produced error messages I've never seen before

We had a Tomcat crash on a customer box, a few hours ago (a simple 
restart got them back up and running), and it produced a whole bunch of 
errors in the general vein of
> *** Invalid JIT return address 00000006E2E2E400 in 00000001A83C5210

before finally failing with a null pointer exception, and producing a 
Java dump, a Snap dump, and a JIT dump, all over the course of a couple 
of seconds.

Prior to that, our webapp was having a great deal of trouble accessing 
Office365.

Other than that it's almost certainly our webapp, rather than Tomcat 
itself, that caused the "Invalid JIT return address" messages, does 
anybody here have any insights? I've literally never seen messages of 
this type before.

Exactly. But my point is that if your Java code is causing the JVM to
crash, it's not your Java code's fault.

Thanks.

Of course, we all know that while theory and practice are the same in 
theory, they aren't always in practice. ;-P

Yikes.

Via HTTP(S) or via some native API?

It's more likely to be a JVM bug than anything in your code.
Theoretically, it should not be possible to cause a JVM to crash with
pure Java code.
