    Description

      In jvmpi.cpp, the method Dump::dump_oop() starts off with an overly strong assert:

        assert(obj == NULL || (obj->is_oop() && !obj->is_klass()), "not an opp or a
      klass");

      As it turns out, there are some objects ("unsafe" static field accessors)
      which can actually have a direct reference to a hotspot klass structure,
      instead of to the java mirror. This showed up when running OptimizeIt.

      We solved the problem by weakening the assert to this:

        assert(obj == NULL || obj->is_oop(), "not an oop");
