More information on JNI Win32 heap corruption

Perhaps it is reproducable under Linux?
I suppose the code below is free and it shouldn't be too hard to
take it for a spin.

The reason why I think it might be is that it seems like half the
time it is callbacks from Suns JNI code that show up in the debugger.

I've been taking considerable flak because my app has randomly crashed,
and I now I'm hunting down everything to restore confidence...
Heap corruption in the debugger irks me, though I can't see any negative
effects on the application.
I don't speak GCC development skills too good, so I'll be inspecting
GCC source and running Mohans build(soon with debug info, I hope :-) for
a
while still.
