This test causes crash when used with -server. If I remove the volatile keyword from the checksum field then the crash does not occur. Happens on winNT. I
attached the input file that I used when I saw this occur.

import java.io.*;

public class Blah {

    static final int ITERATIONS = 60000;

    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
        for (int x=0; x<10; x++) {

            test3(false);
        }
        test1(true);
        test2(true);
        test3(true);
    }

    volatile static long checksum = 0;

    private static void test1(boolean reportResult) throws Exception {
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("inputfile");

I observed the same crash with CompileTheWorld of admswt10.jar on windows-i386:
java_g -hopper_baseline -Xbatch -Xss4m -XX:+CompileTheWorld -XX:MinInliningThreshold=0 -Xbootclasspath/p:admswt10.jar

SQE, Francis Hsu, confirmed that the current hopper candidate crashes when 
running CompileTheWorld on admswt10.jar with solaris-i386.
