The change or C-heap symbol came from default method processing.  I 
think either a generic or method signature had a component in it that 
hadn't been processed as a class name first which would have put it in 
the CDS region.  SignatureStream creates new symbols if they're not 
found and I think this one used to be found (or has been added).   
Apparently there have been a lot of changes since b80.

Thanks!
