Application runs on Tomcat 6.
Segfault occurs when extracting and viewing MBean attributes on a JSP webpage.
It doesn't segfault immediately, it takes some reloads, maybe after the system has started processing data.
The system it's part of has some worker threads, which some are exported as MBeans.

The MBeans are exported by Spring.
The code used to extract attribute values from the MBeans is based upon the code example from this forum post: http://java-monitor.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1655&postcount=1

Segfaults on both Ubuntu bootstrapped from Maven and deployed as war on Tomcat on Red Hat.

Application never segfaulted before the javax.management code was added and it doesn't segfault until the mbeans webpage has been visited.
