Comments
EVALUATION Customer has upgraded to JDK6. Closing as not reproducible (although it could be that problems remain and are reproducible in 1.4.2, in the right conditions...).

WORK AROUND Use: -XX:-CMSParallelRemarkEnabled instead of: -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled I also noticed that the following argument is suggested in CR 4985197: -XX:-CMSPrecleaningEnabled
