Determining JVM stability

[Nikolaos Giannopoulos <ni...@solmar.ca>]

We have a Solaris 8 (sparc) production box at patch level 17 (java patch
level 61) and we are seeing Tomcat (jdk 1.4.1_01) processes and application
processes (jre 1.4.1_01) simply dissappear!

The tomcat logs show a rather generic exception that starts in Thread.run()

Anyone know of OR have seen any problems of this nature?

Anyone know of a tool or software component that can verify that in fact
there is a problem (i.e. that the JVM is crashing) with the underlying OS
libraries or something thereof.  Maybe there's a default JVM switch that
could be turned on to spit out debug info before it dies.

Any ideas are totally welcome... (barring rebuild the OS that is).

Thanks,
