9.0.3 EAPs crash frequently

I have noticed that all of my EAP's since 214 (most history I did maintain) all have at least 1 core file. 413 has crashed 2-3 times in the few hours it has been installed (each time while right-clicking on a method). I also have a thread about how 289 used to crash when idle also. This is not normal behavior for previous Idea versions in the same environment. I have attached the core files. This is on Ubuntu 8.04 using JDK 6u20x64.

It created thread dump directories, but they are empty. But the logs look like it is crashing in GotoAction. I will attach the log.

Charles, you should put Linux Ubuntu 8.04 x64 in your title, as I believe this issue is Linux - specific.
I have seen a similar error some months ago and posted about it. The nmethod.cpp:1836 is the same spot I was getting an Internal Error.

It appears there is a bug in the JIT when compiling bytecode to native code.  I don't think it is a bug in IDEA, but some change in IDEA's code may  have exposed the JIT bug, because I was using the same JVM 1.6u18 for awhile without problem and then starting with one version of IDEA, I started having these crashes on Ubuntu 8.04 x64.  I found if I used -Djava.compiler=None, then the crashes stopped -- but IDEA becomes unbearibly slow.  As far as I know, the bug is sitll not fixed in JDK 6. My solution has been to switch to Windows 2008 R2 OS to run IDEA.

It may be worth giving JDK 6u21 a shot, as Oracle fixed a huge swathe of JIT, GC and compiler bugs - http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/BugFixes6u21.html

You can disable the yourkit integration by removing the followig line from idea.exe.vmoptions file.

-agentlib:yjpagent=disablej2ee,disablecounts,disablealloc,sessionname=IntelliJIdea90

To fix the problem, you probably need to download a newer version of the yourkit yjpagent.dll file from yourkit.com
