JBoss 4.2.2 crashes abruptly with "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'"

[marcusdidiusfalco]

Hallo,

we are testing our application with some long running tests.

After a few hours the server crashes without logging any exceptions. The last entry in the log is

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

  what(): std::bad_alloc

We are profiling the application with YourKit. I cannot see any problems. Heap is definetly no problem. Non-Heap memory increases periodicly to the allocated 136 MB but most is released after that. Number of Threads remain approximately constant.

What could be the cause of this?

Thanks,

Hans

The std::bad_alloc sounds like a C++ function, which means that the JVM itself is running into problems.  You never said what you OS is, but whatever it is you need to contact the vendor that supplied your JVM, they are going ot have to fix the problem. Most likely there is a crash dump file that they weill need.
