Flashing isn't a very accurate technical term, I guess. :-)

When a GCJ application compiled with w/-mwindows
launches a console application (e.g. addr2line), a console
window is created for that application. addr2line executes
in no time at all, thus the console window is there only for
a brief amount of time. This brief appearance of a console
window was described as "flashing windows" in a bug-report
I received on my application. 

I don't know enough about launching .exe's under GCJ/Windows/Java
to comment on whether this is the approperiate behaviour when
launching console applications w/-mwindows(Suns JRE equivalent
would be javaw).

It seems Ranjit and some other guys are investigating
whether or not the reliance on addr2line and c++filt could
be removed for dumpStackTrace().

Anyway, the above two options to the GCJ command line speeds
me right along on my quest. :-)
