> The problem is caused by SymbolTable changes JDK-6990754. jhelper.d was never updated with changes for CPSlot, so the low bit of the address of the Symbol is set, which causes the off by 1-ness of the output. The klass name uses a untagged constant pool entry, which is why it doesn't have the problem in the output. There is a very similar bug JDK-7019165 reported against pstack output and the proposed fix is basically backport of JDK-7019165 to jhelper.d.
