Description
The hs_err* file prints out the thread stack for a thread that crashes, but in the case of a GC thread, the thread that it was gc'ing is more useful for diagnosing what is wrong.  Maybe also in the process we can point to the frame that was doing gc and it's oopmaps and anything else we can salvage from the process.

The hs_err*log information has been backported to 1.4.2 and when implemented, this should be too.
