BZ #44: Unknown illegal instruction on ARM

Status fields:

During Jetty-6.1.1 startup the following error message is printed. The given instruction
is a valid ARM
instruction and should not raise an SIGILL. I suspect a cacheflushing problem since the
given instruction
is at a very likely patch position.

Why do you think that?  Does this break for you?

I got this error first time after I added some code including this (rest of code is
nothing special).

Could you attach the whole testcase?  I could not reproduce it with this snippet.
