Hi,
I have a multi-threaded (about 120 threads) application which crashes without after running for a while.
I get this in the windows event viewer
Faulting application java.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.0, fault address 0x000017b1.
Anyone knows why this would happen?

Hi Alexis,
Thanks for the response to my post!!
> Which version of the JVM?
C:\>java -version
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode)
> Are you using the -server option?
I was not using this option earlier but even on using this the jvm crashes after running for sometime.
I am using these jvm options now -
java -server -Xss128K -Xms256M -Xmx512M

what kind of application are you running (app server?).
What is the reason for using the -Xss option? How many threads do you have?
Can you give JDK 5.0 a try?
You can also try running with the -client option (may be slower, but if it doesn't fail, it may mean there's a bug in the server compiler).
I'm not familiar with Windows thread libraries (can you switch to an alternate library?)

So finally, I got rid of this crash after installing J2SE 5.0RC on windows 2003.
I was also using a bad ThreadPool - did not remove inactive threads, did not respect the maximum allowed thread count.
I changed the code to use Doug Lea's thread pool (PooledExecutor). I am going to convert over to the ThreadPool in java.util.concurrent in the future.
