Hello,

early this year I had troubles with icedtea-bin on my Pentium-M-based ThinkPad. I created this bug and it was resolved (Thanks again!):
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647954
But now the new stable version of icedtea-bin gives me errors and I think it might be because of the same reasons.

So, the current configuration is:
System is 32bit --> x86
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.17.19 / sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.18.10
sys-devel/gcc-7.3.0-r3
dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.9.0

When I want to start an java application - even if it was just 'java -version' the message is:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  Internal Error (os_linux_x86.cpp:291), pid=10383, tid=0x8f17cb40

I add as attachments:
emerge --info dev-java-/icedtea-bin

build.log for dev-java/icedtea-3.9.0

If there's more information needed, please tell me. I'd be glad if I could provide it.

Greetings,

I'm afraid I have to point the finger at upstream. It was demonstrated very helpfully and politely by Maciej S. Szmigiero how this is still an issue in certain situations but because OpenJDK has not come across it before, Andrew has remained dismissive. I held x86 back when stabilising 3.8.0 because of this but as I didn't hear any complaints, I figured it must be okay now and stabilised 3.9.0. Andrew, please address this properly.

[Comment 3 Maciej S. Szmigiero 2018-10-20 20:14:02 UTC]

Guess we need to keep building IcedTea with "-mincoming-stack-boundary=2" on
32-bit x86 until upstream finally addresses this bug correctly.

[Comment 4 James Le Cuirot 2018-10-21 19:37:13 UTC]

I've now addressed this again in icedtea and icedtea-bin.
