The G1 garbage collector is buggy...

We're seeing lots of these using the new G1 garbage collector on 1.6.0_16:


# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00002b55ba46eeb4, pid=17580, tid=1090718016
#
# JRE version: 6.0_16-b01
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (14.2-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 )
# Problematic frame:
# V  [libjvm.so+0x57feb4]
#

Admittedly we're not on the very latest JDK, which at this time is _18.  And wow, look at the release notes for Java SE 6 Update 18!  I count 45 bug fixes tagged with G1...  I guess they're serious when it's unlocked with "-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOption".
