Public bug reported: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu. Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic. openjdk-6-jre: Installed: 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu3 Candidate: 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu3 Version table: *** 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu3 0 999 http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/main Packages 999 http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu3 0 999 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 3) What you expected to happen You can get memory map dump of a JVM instance with jmap tool, see http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/share/jmap.html. However, this is broken in openjdk-6 in karmic and probably lucid too, because there was no indication about the fix in changelog. Example with Sun JDK 1.6.0_20-b02 which works correctly.

The problem is that some needed symbols are stripped from libjvm.so. Installing openjdk-6-dbg package doesn't fix the issue and you shouldn't need this huge package anyway for the functionality. This bug has been encountered by RedHat, Fedora and OpenSUSE communities and fixed in corresponding distros already.
