It looks like a JNI bug to me. I suspect _Jv_JNI_PopLocalFrame is possibly passing some sort of invalid pointer (but
not null) to unmark_for_gc(), which is subsequently calling Hashtable.get() with a garbage pointer. You may need to
use your new GDB to poke around and figure out if this theory is correct and if so, where the garbage in env->locals
comes from.
