This will be fixed in the next release. You should be able to work
around the problem by adding stdalloc=y to the run -Xrunjdwp options.
(1.4.2-01 defaults to stdalloc=n, that means it uses a variant of Doug
Lea's malloc which seems to break with NPTL. 1.5 allocates memory via
JVMTI, so it doesn't have this problem.)

I have a hard time reproducing this. What do you do to crash it?
