OK, well in that case I probably can't be of much help. I can only think 
of two things that don't involve low-level details (of which I know 
nothing):

-If the destructor of jobject can throw... that would immediately 
terminate the program.

-I forget the details, but some compilers will assume that a function 
declared extern "C" won't throw. Maybe that is the explanation?
