A little additional note about this bug: this appears to be a bug in
some sort of a classname string copy operation. Note that the "PPPPPPPP" is
the same size as "PutField" and "GGGGGGGG" is the same size as "GetField."
This may be a red herring, however, since
"lln.lln.lln.lln.lln.lln.lln.lln.ll" is not the same size as
"UnsupportedOperationException". The first two cases deal with inner
classes, though, and the last one deals with a top-level class, so perhaps
they're different problems after all.
