Hello,
We are developing a webservice, that generates ppt slides with aspose. This webservice is deployed on a SAP Netweaver Application Server 7.0 on an IBM / AIX 5.3. (Power PC 64 bit architecture) machine.
When we executed the webservice once, it works fine. But if the webservice is executed repeatedly and/or in parallel, the JVM crashes with a general protection fault.
We have created a java core dump, that indicates, that the crash is caused by aspose. All active threads of the application end at com/aspose/slides/Shape.const(SourceFile:2142(Compiled Code))
For example:
3XMTHREADINFO "SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_24" (TID:0x000000011733E400, sys_thread_t:0x00000001172F4350, state:R, native ID:0x00000000006800FF) prio=5

The JVM used is J2RE 1.4.2 IBM J9 2.3 AIX ppc64-64 build j9ap64142-20070708
The application works just fine on our Windows XP development system. The error occurs only on the IBM / AIX system...
Do you have any suggestions, that might help to get this application to run under AIX?
I am currently developing a tester application, that will run as command-line application and, hopefully, reproduce this error.
If you need more information (i.e. the full core dump), I can provide this as well...
