If PrintMallocFree not on, it goes smoothly.

EVALUATION Please re-test, appears another putback caused this to fail in b77.. Please retest with b79. I would hope its addressed in this build.. Tony, can you let us know when the assert issue will be fixed?

EVALUATION We used tty, via global variable, in operator delete, after its destructor was called, to print out allocation. This way of using objects is wrong, and lead to mentioned behavior.

EVALUATION Pure virtual method is called becuase tty instance is deleted BEFORE delete defaultStream::instance; is called from ostream.cc:598 Destructor calls FREE_C_HEAP_ARRAY (xmlstream.cpp:37) that calls FreeHeap (allocation.inline.hpp:38) that contains code #ifdef ASSERT if (PrintMallocFree) trace_heap_free(p); #endif And allocation.cpp:58 contains void trace_heap_free(void* p) { // A lock is not needed here - tty uses a lock internally tty->print_cr("Heap free " INTPTR_FORMAT, p); } What I do not understand yet is why do we get this VM crash only on Opteron/SuSe machins and not on other linux machines? A dummy solution is to remove delete defaultStream::instance; from ostream.cc:598 I tried and it works.
