JNI_ArgumentPusherVaArg copies the given argument list pointer (va_copy) but never releases it. A call to va_end is missing.
AFAICS this coding is old. Interestingly, in jdk8 I find this:
0: inline void set_ap(va_list rap) {
0: #ifdef va_copy
0: va_copy(_ap, rap);
0: #elif defined (__va_copy)
0: __va_copy(_ap, rap);
0: #else
0: _ap = rap;
0: #endif
0: }
`_ap = rap` seems a strangely relaxed way of doing this. But I do not know the history behind that.
I could not find any usage of the original arg pointer, so maybe the `va_copy()` is not even needed. The jdk8 coding seems to indicate that too. But since I was not 100% sure I kept the `va_copy()` and added a `va_end()`.
I also made this private (removed the `protected`) since there are no child classes.
