 Alexandre, I think Linux crashes when it calls "getEngine" from
"java_lang_System_initProperties". java_lang_System_initProperties is
called from the static initializer of java.lang.System, which is called
from initBaseClasses().

So: is the reason maybe that the jitter does not save and restore
%ebx, which is used by pic code?

java.lang.System.<clinit> is jitted, calls java_lang_System_initProperties,
which hits the getEngine() calls, needs %ebx, and dies?
