How do you call JNI_CreateJavaVM without Valgrind errors?

When compiling and running the following code under valgrind, I consistently get "Invalid write of size 4" errors. Is there a clean way of calling JNI_CreateJavaVM() so that valgrind doesn't throw a fit?

#include <jni.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    JavaVMInitArgs * vm_args = calloc(1, sizeof(JavaVMInitArgs));
    JavaVM * jvm = NULL;
    JNIEnv * env = NULL;

    vm_args->version = JNI_VERSION_1_6;
    vm_args->nOptions = 0;
    vm_args->options = NULL;

    JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm, (void **)&env, vm_args);

    return 0;
}

Here is the valgrind command I am running:

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --num-callers=20 --smc-check=all ./test

A single entry from my loooonng valgrind log:

Since this is an error within the JVM you can just choose to supress it. Valgrind can be configured to supress specific errors. You can find more details here
