FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux 2.6.9-22.20.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov 18 03:04:44 EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When we try to use jmap -histo to display the heap information, we find that sometimes it will print negative number due to integer overflow. This manifest itself fairly often as our application tends to use large heap size on 64bit platform.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Build a jvm instance with instance of a class that is more then 2G in size - you can use program I have attached

2) run this on a 64-bit JVM, with java -Xmx4G LargeObjectArrayList

3) Once the Array list allocation has finished, it prints "Press return to stop". You should then use jmap -histo to obtain a histogram of the heap

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The total number of bytes used by all the instance of the class, with size > 0
ACTUAL -
When you run jmap -histo for the test case, you will see the following:

num   #instances    #bytes  class name

Notice that the array of objects at the top printed with negative number, as well as the total.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
