Sounds good. Is there an object in gnu.gcj that we could add a static
method to?

Also, for somebody who knows natXXX.cc better than I, are there any
situations in which GCJ would make a system call that would end up
writing to pointerful (not PTRFREE) objects? This is assuming that
hash synchronization is on, of course.
