Running this code under a symbolic debugger shows that memory is allocated
in native code and not freed. The source of the error is a fix previously
issued to Sun - a call to freeif(ifs) was mistakenly coded as free(ifs).
[This bug is being submitted as a courtesy, in order to maintain uniformity between Sun & IBM JDKs. It has been fixed in IBM JDKs.
