An infrequent, but recent series of JVM crashes under the configuration of CFMX 6.x on JVM 1.4.x on the Linux platform has been resolved in the short term with the -Xint JVM argument to disable the Sun JVM HotSpot optimizer. The -Xint JVM option, described in this Sun VM Options page, can be added to the JVM argument list in the ColdFusion Administrator to force the JVM to run in the interpreted mode, avoiding HotSpot optimization all together. The result is more stability in exchange a performance hit. While a better solution is being sought after, the -Xint option will work in a pinch.
his type of crash seems to be very specific for the CFMX on Linux with the 1.4. JVM, and not on any other combination of versions or platforms. In fact, I've found very few instances where this has occurred at all among a large set of servers. The HotSpot crash log (hs_err_pidnnnnn.log) which has been found in /tmp, but might show up in the {cfmx}/runtime/bin/ directory, has a unique error code: Error ID : 4F530E43505002EF. This error can be found in Sun's Bug Parade quite easily, and I'm working my way through reading each matching report.
A sample HotSpot crash log for this condition is shown here:

We have been seeing the same problem on Solaris, and we are running in the crippled mode. It works almost decently, but some templates are hit very badly (we haven't mapped out exactly what it is)
