This application runs beautifully under Core 3 and 4, so something has changed under the Core 5 GCJ stuff that I can't pinpoint. I was unable to make my application run under core 5 without killing the GC and eventually went back to core 4.

This patch will be in the next FC5 libgcj rpm update. It's already in 
Rawhide. I think it should solve your problem.
