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
