> launcher's main.c function gpProtectedMain tries to free mainClass even if mainClass points to an element of argv which it did not malloc.  This cause recent versions of glibc to abort (albeit when the process is about to exit) with a message like:
>   *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbaffbaff ***
