[android] Android Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x636f7d89 (code=1). How can it be tracked down?

OK! I'm really sorry to those that have actually submitted comments and answers, but I found the problem. I don't think this will help a lot of others trying to track down their personal SIGSEGV, but mine (and it was very hard) was entirely related to this:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8709

The libcrypto.so in my dump kind of clued me in. I do a MD5 hash of packet data when trying to determine if I've already seen the packet, and skipping it if I had. I thought at one point this was an ugly threading issue related to tracking those hashes, but it turned out it was the java.security.MessageDigest class! It's not thread safe!

I swapped it out with a UID I was stuffing in every packet based on the device UUID and a timestamp. No problems since.

I guess the lesson I can impart to those that were in my situation is, even if you're a 100% Java application, pay attention to the native library and symbol noted in the crash dump for clues. Googling for SIGSEGV + the lib .so name will go a lot farther than the useless code=1, etc... Next think about where your Java app could touch native code, even if it's nothing you're doing. I made the mistake of assuming it was a Service + UI threading issue where the Canvas was drawing something that was null, (the most common case I Googled on SIGSEGV) and ignored the possibility it could have been completely related to code I wrote that was related to the lib .so in the crash dump. Naturally java.security would use a native component in libcrypto.so for speed, so once I clued in, I Googled for Android + SIGSEGV + libcrypto.so and found the documented issue. Good luck!
