java in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense

[gwk at rahn-koltermann.de]

Hi,

when I ran Eclipse 3.0M5 on -current, I just got
"java in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense"
repeatedly.  

Both Eclipse and the JDK that I use, 1.4.2p5, were compiled on
FreeBSD 5.1R.  I never noticed this error on 5.1R, but maybe the
malloc debugging options were not enabled by default there. On
-current I even have to set MALLOC_OPTIONS=a otherwise this warning
will be fatal and abort the program.

Now that I try to reproduce and catch a core file, the problem
doesn't trigger any more :-((

Has anybody else seen this warning? Is it a problem in the native
part of Eclipse or in the JDK?
