Customer wants it to be treated with high prioity.

And customer seeks for the below clarifications :

1. Do these crashes correspond to a known problem ?
2. Are they associated with parallel remark
3. Would it stop having these problems if customer migrates to JVM 1.6 ?

Need to know about detailed analysis and inputs.
