Do you have Linux OS?

I cannot reproduce this problem by using latest VTune(XE) Amplifier XE 2013 Update 3, and Java 1.7.0 Update 11.

This is a valuable report, I can reproduce this in command line:

# amplxe-cl -collect snb-general-exploration -knob enable-stack-collection=true -allow-multiple-runs -- /home/peter/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/java -version

Segementation fault,

However if you remove "-allow-mutiple-runs" option, it works. (as a workaround)

This should be a bug in the tool, need to report dev team.

 Thank you to let me know this, I will keep to update - if the problem is resolved.

Final I got info that option "-allow-multiple-runs" mode does not support call stack collection.

This is not the Java specific issue. I wrote a KB to describe this more detail.
