The crash did occur serveral times now. It only appears on classloading (see log) and is probably caused by GetEntry in libzip:
C [libzip.so+0x4a39] ZIP_GetEntry+0xa9
C [libzip.so+0x3659] Java_java_util_zip_ZipFile_getEntry+0x139
This very much looks like
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6366468
which is also reported against Java 1.6, though there is a report that the "Same bug is there on JDK 1.5"

 That also applies to me: No jars are being altered while the program runs.

This suggests that the bug is old (reported as early as 22 dec 2005), consistently closed while not fixed ("Priority: 5-Very Low", "State 11-Closed, Not Reproducible, bug") and probably still present in Java's libzip. Moreover, the bug is platform independent (reported on Ubuntu i386 and Solaris SPARC at least).

>The problem is clearly happening in the ZIP_GetEntry method.
Maybe it should be assigned to the ZIP team for further evaluation and action.
