The problem here is that _Jv_InitGC is called to late, and hence 
GC_all_interior_pointers is cleared after the GC has been run.  This is 
documented not to work in gc.h.

In particular _Jv_GCSetInitialHeapSize (which turns into GC_expand_hp) is 
called earlier.

If things are always done in this order, it may make sense to have 
_Jv_GCSetInitialHeapSize  just set a variable, and have _Jv_InitGC do the 
expansion.

I'll be travelling next week, and thus won't get a chance to generate a patch 
soon.
