Peter,
The memTest is still running but clean so far.
Thanks,
Carl

Very difficult to know what the problem is. One thing you can now do

Usually, I would agree that physical memory problems are likely to be a
problem, but every time I've had a physical memory problem (much more
common than I'd like to admit!), the JVM has crashed in a more classic
way: that is, with an hs_log file and almost always with a SIGSEGV,
rather than this phantom thing described by Carl.
The Linux OOM killer might be a suspect, except that the process is
apparently not dying, which is very strange.

The whole thing sounds weird. :(
Oh, I agree entirely - usually something will turn a reference bad and
you'll get a memory access somewhere off in hyperspace during a GC.
But it's an easy thing to check, and there is an (admittedly small)
possibility of seeing these symptoms. Heck, with hardware errors
there's a small probability of seeing pretty much *any* symptoms.
