LICENSEE PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
-------------------
The problem described by CR 6244515 ("Unsafe operations that access invalid memory are not handled gracefully") is not resolved on Linux, contrary to the information in that CR.

A simple testcase is provided below, which does the following:

1. Create a test file
2. Open a FileChannel to the test file
3. Create a MappedByteBuffer from the FileChannel
4. Attempt to truncate the file via FileChannel.truncate()
5. Attempt to call load() on the MappedByteBuffer created in step 3

The situation presented by the testcase is handled gracefully on Solaris and Windows, but causes a crash on Linux (which is very similar to the crash observed on Solaris
with the 5.0 JDK).

Note that this does not appear to be a regression, as the problem is reproducible on Linux with ALL Java 6 SDKs. In fact it seems that the issue was never fixed properly. The problem is also seen with Java 7 (tested b69).

Here are the results on Windows, Solaris and Linux, all with 1.6.0_16:
