Ramki reproduced it on 7u6 also:

Same crash with 7u6 (hs 23.2) as well. Fails with CMS or SerialGC, when large pages is enabled. Works with ParallelGC.

Also on 7u8, but that release also uses HSX-23.2-B09 so
that's not a surprise.
Another e-mail:

Some more data, in case it helps:-

. Parallel and ParallelOld silently seem to work properly.

. G1 doesn't crash but prints an error

. CMS and Serial crash in similar manner with SIGFPE

So probably something specific to how they do this which is done differently w/PS heap and
differently again w/G1. In all crashes, asking for large pages seems to be the key.
MacOS X crash using -XX:+UseLargePages reported by Ramki:
