Interesting. The abort() should only happen if it encounters a 
duplicate class registration - ie _Jv_RegisterClasses is called twice 
with the same class argument. Is it possible that this is happening 
somehow? _Jv_RegisterClasses is always called before the runtime is 
initialized, so this should not be a problem.

It is from the C runtime - have a look in gcc/crtstuff.c
