      If I try to use the dump with hat, it will fail with an EOFException:
          Read heap sub-record type 34 at position 0x00271311
      java.io.EOFException
              at java.io.DataInputStream.readInt(DataInputStream.java:398)

      the problem is some garbage randomly inserted into the stream just after
      the 0x22 (OBJ_ARRAY) header:
      00271300 00 00 11 7C 40 00 11 7B 58 00 12 87 C0 00 12 88 ...|@..{X..À..À

      Note: only some of the OBJ_ARRAY headers are broken, there were several
      correct OBJ_ARRAY records in the stream before this failure.
      There are also more failures after this point.

      I've reproduced the problem on a simple application with both 1.4-b92 and 1.4.1-b12 JDKs. With 1.3.1 JDK it works correctly.
      A colleague of mine have also reported it on Linux

      I'm usually using hprof with depth=0, that is why there is always
      00 00 00 01 stack trace reference in the dumps but I've reproduced the problem
      also without depth=0 hprof option
