(JDK 114) in function
java_io_ObjectStreamClass_getFieldSignatures() in file
src/share/java/lang/ObjectStreamClass.c.
(The same bug exists in function
java_io_ObjectStreamClass_getMethodSignatures()).

Here is the code that is buggy:

    for (i = cbFieldsCount(cb) - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
...
        namearray = (HString **)unhand(namearrayhandle)->body;
        namearray[i] = makeJavaString(buffer, strlen(buffer));
...
     }

Suppose garbage collection occurs during the call to makeJavaString().
Couldn't the garbage collection cause the object that namearray points
at to be moved, hence invalidating namearray's value ?

Should the code be fixed by doing something like:

    /* loop thru each field in the class */
    for (i = cbFieldsCount(cb) - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
...
        strobj = makeJavaString(p, strlen(p));
        namearray = (HString **)unhand(namearrayhandle)->body;
        namearray[i] = strobj;
...
     }
