These look a bit weird, e.g.: 5384 7.8072 libgcj.so.6.0.0 java::lang::Compiler::Compiler() 5358 7.7695 libgcj.so.6.0.0 __do_global_ctors_aux But Compiler's constructor is private and, afaik, never called. And __do_global_ctors_aux should barely show up, I think. Anthony ran into some problem where oprofile was finding the wrong symbols. He upgraded and this was fixed. I don't know what versions are affected. Tom
