Valgrind did indeed help in debugging this problem. It seems that the
error is caused by a call to System.arraycopy(..) that ultimately calls
the C function memcpy() with overlapping memory areas. The behaviour of
memcpy() is undefined in this case. This can lead to corruption of the
the heap. I've opened an issue to track this problem [1].


Kind regards,
