APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: Segmentation fault(coredump) . Stack Trace: Large number of calls to findCycle in libj9jit29.so at the top of the stack .
Local fix
An Xjit option can be used to prevent compiling the problematic method: -Xjit:exclude={*methodName*}
Problem summary
When very large methods get compiled it can cause the recursive function findCycle to recurse too many times and trigger a stack overflow. The failure will look like a segmentation fault inside findCycle.
Problem conclusion
findCycle was changed from an recursive implementation to an iterative one that will not trigger a stack overflow. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR6 FP15 (8.0.6.15) . Contact your IBM Product's Service Team for these Service Refreshes and Fix Packs.
