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.
