I've just committed the fix in "src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.h" revision 1.12. The Java runtime was peeking into some of the dynamic linker's private data structures. My recent changes added some new members which changed the layout of the structures. I've moved the new members to the end to work around the problem. This is really a JDK bug, but I understand they did it that way to work around limitations in the dynamic linker. I'll try to help them find a less fragile way.
