I suspect the problem is with using a Hashtable. Suppose we have a class:
class WillBreakJNI {
 public int hashCode() { return 0; }
 public boolean equals(Object o) { return true; }
}
The ref_table will store only one instance of this class.
I think ref_table should hash its objects by address, or something...
