This not my alley, as I don't know what the outcome of kill -3 does to 
Sun's JVM. However, can you perchance use the dump mechanism that David 
Daney mentions in the thread 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2005-02/msg00037.html:
"I have code that does a heap dump that I would be good to put in the 
interface as well. Given the heap dump and a post processing program we 
generate things like the number and type of each reachable object as 
well as the value of each String."
