I work for SGI, a JDK licensee.

In javasrc/src/solaris/java/jre/jre_md.c, there
is a check for a nil pointer, and then a dereference
of that pointer, *only* when the pointer is nil:

    char *s = getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"), *buf;

    /* Set library path */
    if (s == 0) {
        buf = JRE_Malloc(strlen(dir) + strlen(s) + 32);
        sprintf(buf, "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=%s:%s", dir, s);
    } else {
        buf = JRE_Malloc(strlen(dir) + 32);
        sprintf(buf, "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=%s", dir);
    }

Negating the sense of the null pointer check fixes
this. This code is in the short function
SetLibraryPath().
