JDK-6620559 - jvm crash with 6.0u2 on Solaris 10 3/05
Description
The fix 6374692 will quietly report when page 0 is mmapped on solaris but we should probably come up with a more comprehensive fix since it's so tedious to diagnose when it occurs.  The VM should either forcibly mmap page 0 in CreateJavaJVM or it should refuse to run if it's that page is mapped or if it's possible for it to be mmaped as a result of an unlimited stack.  It may also be worth backporting as well.
Comments
The Solaris bug has been fixed years ago, it's highly unlikely that this would still be a real problem. Closing as WNF
