JOSM crash

[FabC]

After a certain number of edit operations JOSM suddenly crash. This is occuring almost randomicaly, during editing and/or when uploading data changes. A hs_err_pidxxx.log is left in the gpx data folder (copy of one of them is attached).

Log file created after JOSM crash

[FabC]

The crash has been experienced through several version of JOSM (latest used was 1566) and of JAVA.

The logfile does not contain really helpful information. But when none of the JOSM crash error messages appear I fear this is a JAVA installation issue.

[stoecker]

When you get any additional information which may show an JOSM related issue, then reopen that report or add a new one. The minimum is that a stacktrace or other text contain a position inside the josm code (there must be "josm" somewher in the source code file path).

Copying from mailinglist:

It looks like I found the solution!!!
It seems to "happen with machines with low video ram". I've an NVidia
Geoforce 6150 (shared memory 512MB): no idea if it falls in such category,
but now it works!

As in ​1 the solution is to start JOSM including the Java option
"sun.java2d.d3d=false":

C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Xmx800M -jar
C:\Programmi\Josm\josm-latest.jar

I'm now working since several hours with JOSM doing several changes and
uploads: no crashes till now! Before it was happening after very short
editing sessions.

Continuing testing!
