Answer 1

Check the Heap size for the Program, there might be problem with that. Check for the network authentication, if your application accessign some other network resources

Answer 2

You've hit a bug in the JVM. So you should file a bug report. They will probably want you to provide a SSCCE that causes the crash.

Answer 3

there is a bug in the jpcap API. The error is solved if you use the getPacket method instead of the loopPacket or processPacket methods.
