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.
