EVALUATION Here is the theory what happened - the stack base address can be NULL: src/os/solaris/vm/os_solaris.cpp: size_t adjust_stack_size()sets stack size = base when size > base, which can happen when stack limit is set to 'unlimited' To reproduce the problem: 1. run following command from shell: $ ulimit -H -s unlimited; ulimit -s unlimited 2. run nsk.coverage.jni test
