I am having some trouble reading a Mac Problem Report. I was hoping someone out there with a little more Mac experience could help out.

Our Java program seems to be crashing on a thread that is calling JVM_GetLastErrorString, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Our Java program starts and runs great, but on calling System.exit(0), it crashes (Mac says "this program has quit unexpectedly"). This happens reliably after having established a connection to a USB device that implements InputStream and OutputStream. I imagine it has to do with the driver or my code accessing the driver, but I can't find enough details to start debugging the main Java program, or the USB user-space driver (a .jnilib file).

Are there any clues in this Problem report that I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

Are you disengaging the connection with the USB device before exiting? With USB flash drives, the OS likes to complain sometimes if you remove it without properly "ejecting" it first. This could be a similar issue. I'm just taking a guess here.

Are you able to test it on other Mac systems or do you only have the one? If the program can be packaged up I could test it on my Mac and see if I get the same problems.

I have requested that it close. I have now narrowed it down to the USB driver itself, which seems to have some sort of nullpointer access or buffer overflow. As a Java programmer, debugging these in XCode seem to be next to impossible, compared to the relatively simple debugging by Exception traces...

Anyway, as it's not really Java related (although the Mac trace sure made it look that way), I'll keep playing with it and then if I have more questions, post up to an Objective C forum (I hate writing drivers, even in user-space...).

Thanks for your help...
