The report for 6589823 includes a test case which fails with meet not symmetric but it's failing for different reasons. From the comments of that report:
Please see Tester.java class generated by JITTester which fails the same
way starting from HS12-b03 (jdk7b26). The error is:
=== Meet Not Symmetric ===
t = narrowoop: Tester_Class_2:TopPTR:exact *[int:48]:AnyNull:exact *,iid=-58
this= Tester_Class_0:AnyNull *
mt=(t meet this)= java/lang/Object:NotNull:exact *,iid=-58
t_dual= narrowoop: Tester_Class_2:exact *[int:48]:NotNull:exact *,iid=58
this_dual= Tester_Class_0:NotNull *
mt_dual= java/lang/Object:AnyNull:exact *,iid=58
mt_dual meet t_dual= narrowoop: Tester_Class_2:exact *[int:48]:NotNull:exact *
mt_dual meet this_dual= java/lang/Object:NotNull *

# Internal Error (/BUILD_AREA/jdk7/hotspot/src/share/vm/opto/type.cpp:541), pid=12905, tid=1083214144
# Error: meet not symmetric
#
The problem is not reproduced with HS12-b01 (jdk7b25).
The problem is -XX:+AggressiveOpts specific.
To reproduce the problem do something like:
1. ssh linux-amd64 machine
2. javac Tester.java
3. /net/sqenfs-1.sfbay/export1/jdk/re/7/promoted/all/b27/binaries/linux-amd64/fastdebug/bin/java -Xcomp -d64 -server -XX:+AggressiveOpts Tester
Running with +DoEscapeAnalysis alone it fails like this with current c2_baseline:
java -d64 -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis -Xcomp Tester VM option '+DoEscapeAnalysis'

I think the problem is that mt, which is the value we're going to return, has an instance id which seems like it should have been stripped during the meet.
