Debugging "Native Crash"

When I run my instrumented test suite, I always get a "Native Crash" or "Program Crashed" error in one of the test classes. This class runs fine by itself. How do I even begin debugging this? All of my research so far has come up with solutions for debugging native code compiled with the Android NDK. The strange thing is that I am only writing Java code for this project.

For reference, the memory dump from an example crash is bellow:

After further research, I turned up these seemingly related questions:

Native crash on an Android-Java based app?

Native crash at /dev/ashmem/dalvik-jit-code-cache

Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) is either a invalid memory reference or segmentation fault.

Clue 1: If you look down past that at I/DEBUG ( 35): backtrace:

You'll find the related libraries that crashed and the address associated with the line of code in that library.

If you don't have access to peek into and modify that library.

Then you should trace to where it exactly crashes in java. Most likely, it was passed a value it couldn't process.

EDIT

If you didn't use any library, there are still cases where it is still possible for the base sdk/api to default like this because it tried to process a value it's not supposed to.

Clue 2. F/libc ( 2064): Fatal .... thread 2080 (roidJUnitRunner)
