Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (11.2-b01) for windows-amd64 JRE (1.6.0_12-b04), built on Jan 17 2009 01:49:05 by "java_re" with MS VC++ 8.0

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The server VM crashes in the ConcurrentGCThread.

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Start any java application and use the following GC params for startup: -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70 -XX:CMSIncrementalSafetyFactor=40 -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -server

Afterwards set the application under load so that the GC needs to do it's work.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected:
-> The JVM runs stable.

Actual:
-> The JVM occasionally crashes in the ConcurrentGCThread.
