Thanks again Paul -- comments follow.

At this point I think we're going to have to write this off as a false positive
caused by the JVM doing something that confused valgrind.  As mentioned
earlier, we don't much care about what the JVM itself is doing, simply because
there's nothing we can do about it -- not to mention that we simply don't have
the time or resources to go down that particular rabbit-hole.

We can't even reproduce the issue *with* our test framework -- it was a
one-time event, out of literally thousands of test runs that were totally fine.
 Which, of course, is why we're even asking this question in the first place.   

Thanks again for all your help -- I think we're at a dead-end here.  The main
thing is it sounds like it *is* possible for valgrind to lose track of the
stack, and that is the only explanation that I can come up with for the results
we're seeing.

We'll keep on eye on subsequent tests, but frankly I would be surprised if this
happens again.
