An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine

"An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine" Error While Launching Installer

Today while installing Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0) 64-bit on RHEL 6.1 64-bit on a VMWare box, I received the mentioned error.. However, this seems to be an RHEL bug. 

The workaround to the problem is to set "LD_BIND_NOW" environment variable to a value "1" as shown below and re-launch the installer. 

[oracle@redhat1]$ export LD_BIND_NOW=1

[oracle@redhat1]$ ./runInstaller
