Very often, the OpenJDK image compiled from modified source code will crash with the following error message:
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x0000000000000000, pid=1234, tid=4321

The hs_err_pidxxxx.log file isn't very helpful, and the minidump contains too much information. Are there easier ways to find out whats wrong with the compiled JDK?
