Definitely. There might have been some OutOfMemoryErrors shown prior to 
the crash. I've seen it once.

jdk15 has many bugfixes and improvements from Sun, over jdk14. 
FreeBSD-wise they appear more or less equally stable from my experience. 
I can't comment on amd64 though.

Although not related to the reported crash, that would also be a good plan.
