In the sample code, a javax.naming.directory.DirContext is being used as 
part of the reverse lookup test used to reproduced the issue.  We 
noticed that a new DirContext was being used each time. Closing or 
re-using the DirContext gets rid of the crash.

It looks like this isn't too much of an issue then.  The interesting bit 
though is that OpenJDK6 is able to handle the "bad" code with too many 
instances of DirContext, while OpenJDK7 isn't.  FWIW, I wasn't able to 
reproduce the crash on a Linux build of OpenJDK7.
