Just wanted to report that the problem has gone away and it had nothing
to do with ooRexx or Java, but with a coding error: in the code path
there was a condition which caused the invocation of RexxFreeMemory() on
the same pointer twice. This obviously caused the observed behaviour
that I reported (much later though).

Once found and fixed, everything now works in this area as it should.
