Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I know the information included in that
file is very useful when a crash occurs, but this time the error happened
on a production system and it's virtually impossible to reproduce the
error again. Unfortunately the dmp file wasn't generated when the crash
happened.
From the VM sources I see that the number is a reference to
methodPrimitiveIndex() and I think it's only a index without any relevant
information about what happened.
Thanks anyway.
Regards,
Martin
