These are not breaking news, but here are the results of various things that 
I've tried:

- The program does not have to be rewritten very much for the crash to go away. 
This I discovered as part of my attempts to further reduce the problem.
- The crash happens almost every time in the same place(getClass()), but there 
are a handful of other symptoms(null pointer exceptions, segmentation faults 
elsewhere in the program).
- I haven't managed to reproduce it under Linux using GCC 3.4(or any other 
version of GCC for that matter).
- It happens much more quickly when I run it from Insight than from the command 
line GDB. I have not run the test from Insight under Linux.
- I compiled GCC 3.4 with disable-hash-synchronization, same problem.
- I tried to compile GCC 3.4 with disable-java-gc, but I got compilation errors.

Really what this problem needs is someone with the required Windows/GCJ 
skillset to tackle it head on because it is fairly reproduceable.
