Hi,
We are seeing a crash when both libmawt.so and libnet.so are loaded, and the init() method in src/share/native/java/net/net_util.c is called, but an init() method in libmawt.so gets invoked instead. Although it is difficult to reproduce the problem, declaring the init() in net_util.c can resolve the issue. This low-risk fix will hopefully be going into 7u40.
