Description _ gsporar 2007-03-22 06:06:08 UTC 
Frequently binary heap dump files are inconsistent.  This especially happens
with binary heap dumps that are created with JDK 1.4.2 or JDK 5, in particular
with the jmap utility.  The problem is that before JDK 6, jmap could take a
snapshot of the heap when the heap was in an inconsistent state.

The Profiler should somehow report to the user that the heap dump file is in an
inconsistent state.
