This is a bad example for libjava breakage as it is an use after
freeing.  See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-regression/2008-06/msg00013.html
and http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36596.  The segfault
is very dependent on the version of glibc and kernel you are using,
etc.  It is very dependent on the actual memory layout of the
application.  Just it was failing during compiling for libjava, not
earlier like it was for Geoff's regression tester.

Thanks,
