Hi there,
playing around some more with MAT I ran into the following error with some of my dumps. All were taken on 1.5 SUN JVMs (running on either Solaris or Linux).
org.eclipse.mat.snapshot.SnapshotException: Error: 0x8d776450 is used as class and object simultaneously. Are you using a beta DLL for Sun JDK 1.4.2 to write the heap dump?

Since the suggested problem (usage of JDK 1.4.2) is not the case: What else can I do to find out what is going on? Do I need any special switches for jmap? The dumps all were taken with the same command:
jmap -heap:format=b <pid>
Still, some work, some do not. Any suggestions?
bye, Michael
