I've found the reason of crash of org.apache.harmony.archive.tests.java.util.jar.JarExecTest. The reason for it is actually commit in revision 514596. Most likely other tests fail for the same reason. The sequence that leads to a crash looks like this:

1. Java calls Java_java_net_InetAddress_getHostByNameImpl with a host name "jcltest.apache.org". 2. It calls hysock_getaddrinfo with this name and uninitialized hyaddrinfo_struct addrinfo variable. 3. Function hysock_getaddrinfo calls system function getaddrinfo and it returns not null which means error. 4. In this case hysock_getaddrinfo reads errno and records it in errorCode. But errorCode appears to be 0. Looking at man page for getaddrinfo I see that only in case of EAI_SYSTEM it sets errno to some specific value. In other cases errno state is not specified. 5. Function hysock_getaddrinfo records an error with errorCode 0 using findError. Since after the change in 514596 the errorCode 0 means HYPORT_SUCCESS, then it is considered to be no error. Previously before that change findError would return HYPORT_ERROR_SOCKET_OPFAILED. 6. Since hysock_getaddrinfo returned HYPORT_SUCCESS which is 0, the function Java_java_net_InetAddress_getHostByNameImpl continues to work with uninitialized addrinfo variable. 7. When Java_java_net_InetAddress_getHostByNameImpl calls to hysock_freeaddrinfo, free is called on unintialized pointer which leads to a crash.
