In the distant past, I also saw this with product builds.  Triggering 
conditions involved a JNI DSO calling dlopen(RTLD_GLOBAL) on another DSO 
which eventually triggered loading the system zlib.  This might still be 
relevant on stock OpenJDK 7.

IcedTea avoids this by linking against system zlib.
