libjvm.so Does Not Function Correctly When Using dlopen (4270715)

libjvm.so does not function correctly if it is brought into the process using dlopen. It must be linked into the executable when that object is created.

Workaround: Explicitly name libjvm.so (-ljvm) and libjava.so (-ljava) as dependencies when you create an executable.
