Compressed oops failure with hs19 master

[Dr Andrew John Hughes]

I reported this on jdk6-dev
(http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk6-dev/2010-November/002095.html)
but thought it best to also report it here as there's been no
response.

The hs19 stable branch crashes with Eclipse's CDT plugin:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647737

and the same occurs with the current OpenJDK7 HotSpot tree.
(http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot/hotspot)

Disabling compressed oops by default (as was done for hs17 stable)
will work around the problem, and this is what we presently do in
IcedTea6.

Is compressed oops ready for prime time in hs19 or is turning it off
the right path to go down?  Has anyone else seen this issue or know of
anything that might fix it?
