Crash with IBM Java 7

[pluradj]

I ran into this problem when trying to use Apache Cassandra 2.0.7 with IBM Java 7. Cassandra crashes during start up and generates a core file. It is pretty easy to recreate with a Java program that calls on LZ4Factory.nativeInstance().

I confirmed that this pull request does fix the issue - https://github.com/jpountz/lz4-java/pull/46

FYI: There's at least one other known issue with IBM Java. See #31 for more details.

@pluradj Thanks for confirming, I'll close this issue then.
