-- Please redispatch to VM if needed ----------

The VM crash happens with "-Xcomp -server" on

OS: Windows, Solaris
JDK: 6u21, 6u23, 7b147RI, 7u3, 8b32, 8b40, 8b41
-----------------------------------------------

! Crash is NOT reproducible on:
! JDK 1.6b105RI, 8b20


To see the crash please compile and execute 
the attached standalone code sample CopyOfObject.java
with "-Xcomp -server"
which includes the testcase itself and the testing framework embedded.

The problem happens with method

     Arrays.copyOfRange()

when ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is expected by the testcase.

VM crash happens only when some setup work is done by the testing framework 
and the testcase is executed by the framework, not directly.


Please note that the "testing framework" bundled together with test sample is not functional - it serves only for crash reproduction.
The tests are quite new in JCK8. 
To reproduce the failure one could use the following command:

/set/java/re/jdk/6/promoted/latest/binaries/solaris-i586/bin/java -jar /set/java/re/jck/8/nightly/binaries/b10-2012-06-07/JCK-runtime-8/lib/jtjck.jar -verbose -extra:/set/java/re/jck/8/promoted/latest/extra -mode:multi -JDK:/set/java/re/jdk/8/promoted/latest/binaries/solaris-i586 -nojtx -vmoptions:"-Xcomp" api/java_util/Arrays/CopyOfObjectTests_indexTGF.html#CopyOfObjectTests
The JCK test triggers another problem with Arrays.CopyOfRange():

Expected exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException was not thrown by testcase "copyOfRange004A"
"java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException" was thrown instead
java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException
