Tim Lindholm and I checked out Sheng Liang's AW book on JNI, and in
section 10.9, page 138, it pretty clearly states that JNI code
changing final fields has undefined semantics that could include
corrupting or crashing the VM.
Of course, if it turns out that it is being used in important
applications, we still have to worry about it.
And there is always System.in, System.out and System.err.
