When I try to CPU profile jEdit (version 4.1
final) using whole app instrumentation, it crashes
with the following exception:

[error] java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class

The most likely reason is that the JVM dislikes
our instrumented copy of
java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke() - it's different
from the reference to that method it remembers
since startup time. But this problem has never
been observed before, thus it needs a deep enough
investigation.
