Error: JVM Aborted

[Aaron Oman]

Hey there,

I just got this message when using Terminator.  I've been using it without issue for several weeks before this message.  I figure I should follow the message footer and mail the group first off - I'm going to see if there's an easy fix afterward.

If you don't have Java installed, download it from http://java.com/, then try again.

Sorry about this.

Here's a follow up message.  I got two popups but only included the message from the first one.  Here's the other popup:

Our lame double popup is hardly your fault.

The contents of this file will probably be useful, at least a little:

C:\apps\cygwin\home\Aaron_2\.terminator\logs\terminator-536.log

It'd also be good to see if there are any hs_err_pid* files lying around, perhaps in C:\apps\cygwin\home\Aaron_2.

Restarting fixed it up.
Good 'ol Windows.  Turning it off makes it work better. :D

Well, the file is there, but it's contents are less than useful - it's empty! :)
I'll attach the three hs_err_pid*.log files I found in my home dir.  They're pretty small at 11k each, so I hope there's no problem with attaching 'em.

Not at all. I'm happily reading them on my phone.

jvm.dll+0xff1ea, if I've transcribed it correctly, which is the address which dereferenced null on all three occasions, gets zero google matches. Damn. "wtoolkit initids" looks a more promising search...

Why is it so hard to find the source? Took me ages to find the
definition of WToolkit's initIDs:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/file/tip/src/windows/native/sun/windows/awt_Toolkit.cpp

V [jvm.dll+0xff1ea]
C [awt.dll+0x9a537]
j sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.initIDs()V+0
...
Java frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code)
j sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.initIDs()V+0

I do happen to have a copy of that version of the JRE lying around
and, poking around with objdump, I can see how 0x9a537 might be in
initIDs. But, by the same method (which I'm not at all sure about),
the closest export before jvm.dll+0xff1ea looks to be
JNI_CreateJavaVM, which must have been called long before.

[Elliott Hughes]

initIDs methods are usually called by static initializers, run when the
class is loaded. (in Terminator we don't cache JNI class, field, or method
ids: we look them up again whenever we want them.) so presumably these
crashes were at startup, before we managed to put a window on the screen?

Yes, as the backtrace in the hs_err_pid files makes clear. Before we even wrote anything to the log.
