Answer 1

Without looking at your code, it's difficult to say what is causing the error but here is explanation on red zone and also few links which discuss about the problem.

Each block of memory allocated to an application comes with a leading and trailing "redzone" which is a special signature in memory just before and just after the memory allocated to the application. If the application were to overwrite outside this region, the red zone signature would be overwritten. Then later on the application crashes and you get this abend when the memory is returned, and the OS can inspect the red zones.

This issues has been found on Mac OSX so it could be something related to class loader issues when class is not found but on mac osx, it's been reported as red zone access. So try it with JDK 1.5 and see if you can reproduce the problem.
