Thanks David. Just found it now (Alan noticed it too). Scott sent his
webrev yesterday.
It looks like both solutions fix the problem. The difference is that
Scott's re-initializes
the properties from native code each time System.initProperties() is
called.
On the other platforms, we only call it once.
So, do we want Macos to diverge slightly from the other platforms in
this respect?
I haven't compared things in detail but If there is no need to diverge
then I would not diverge.

Michael,
There was a different patch for this posted earlier today where the
props fields were all nulled out so they didn't reference the freed
locations amy more. (I didn't keep the email)

Could I get the following change for jdk7u-osx reviewed please?

The freeProps() call added by mac port can only be called once. Issue
seen if System.setProperties(null) is called.
GetJavaProperties() called a second time, which is supposed to return
the statically populated information
from first call. But some of it has been freed already.
Fix is to remove the freeProps() code added in the original port
changeset. The fix reverts the mac specific code
to the original version.
