Description
Code in instanceKlass, classFileParser and elsewhere assumes that sizeof(OopMapBlock) <= sizeof(HeapWord), and thus confuses the count of oop map blocks with their size in words in several places.  If OopMapBlock is made larger than a HeapWord, the VM crashes quickly.

EVALUATION See description. Change the code to use counts of OopMapBlocks and to convert to HeapWord sizes when necessary.
