Seems like we went past this limit.

N/A

The direct cause of this issue is in stubGenerator.cpp:
  1235      // Load a little early; will load 1 off the end of the array.
  1236      // Ok for now; revisit if we have other uses of this routine.
...
  1248      __ delayed()->ld_ptr(L1_ary_ptr,0,L2_super); // Will load a little early
(The delayed ld above is executing +1 off the array which butts up against
the end of the segment, and we have a hit on the last entry :( )
Its unclear that any thing other than bad luck gets us this alignment. 
Generated a version without the preload, and cu will test.
