Is it possible to include information about where the class was loaded 
from in the message that precedes the exit:

  121     tty->print_cr("Invalid layout of %s at %s", 
ik->external_name(), name_symbol->as_C_string());

The main cause of this problem is android.jar on the bootclasspath. It 
would be good to make that explicit as well. Otherwise we will still get 
bug reports because noone will know what this error means.

Thanks,
David
