Comments
The problem is that the env->ExpectionCheck() is being called from a vm thread and triggers the following assert in trasition_from_native(): assert(thread->thread_state() == _thread_in_native, "coming from wrong thread state"); A fix is to use the HAS_PENDING_EXCEPTION and CLEAR_PENDING_EXCEPTION macros. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ccheung/8034860/webrev/
