This looks like the error I saw if the JDK has the newer java.lang.String:

changeset:   5315:e1c679a00712
user:        mduigou
date:        Thu May 17 10:06:19 2012 -0700
summary:     6924259: Remove offset and count fields from java.lang.String

but HotSpot doesn't have support for it.  Hit the same thing while getting
the older Zero HotSpot to work with u6.
