Hi,

I am developing an application in Java and running it on Mac OS X.
My application has several Dialogs which are extended by JDialog.

My problem is this, when I invoke the dialogs from menu or toolbar buttons then sometimes the application exits giving a "Bus Error". This behavior is unpredictable, this means sometimes it gives Bus Error and some times it works correctly.

My system is iMac, with Mac OS X and 256MB RAM.

Can any body tell me what could be the problem ? Is this a programming problem or a system dependent bug?
Please help. Its Urgent.

Regards
Rachna

Try to run the java-vm in gdb to get the backtrace:

gdb java
run <args>

And when the signal occurs:
bt
quit

I m running my application through jar.
So the command line becomes java -jar MyApplication.jar

the gdb is not working with this command line. It gives error.
What should i do?
