It doesn't have any side effects we need to be concerned with.
(It might allocate memory, and it acquires a lock, both of which are
side effects. And in theory there is a race where another thread
could load another .so that implements a different form of the JNI
method -- but this is pathological and probably incorrect on the
user's part anyway.)
