Android>>AndEngine: What does an error of this LogCAT form mean?

I suspect a threading or issue with various arraylist access. Well, I no longer get 'easy' concurrency exceptions, only the same error message in the following form.

I've read somewhere that this may be due to Dalvik VM itself crashing.

I also note /libandenginephysicsbox2dextension.so appearing.

In tests, I've tried removing code executed on AndEngine's update thread, and the error pops up easier and more frequently.

I am getting close to isolating a test case, but the pattern of its reproduction still eludes me.

Any help or even mundane analysis of this output would be appreciated, as it is a pattern I've seen before, but have never learned.

Thanks all!

Usually this kind of error means that you are interfering with the native physics library on the "wrong" Thread, which usually is the UI-Thread, where (by default) TouchEvents and KeyEvents run on.

The error basically means that the box2d implementation used by AndEngine is at some point causing a segmentation fault: either a NULL pointer, writing to an array out of bounds or accessing some variable that is not properly initialized. If your game has native code I'd go over it with valgrind or some other static code analysis tool to see if you are making obvious mistakes in the use of some variable somewhere. Alternatively you might want to try single stepping through the code you've written that is calling box2d: I've personally not had much experience debugging native code, but I know its possible.
