If -XX:+PerfAllowAtExitRegistration is specified then PerfMemory::destroy() can get called twice, once during normal exit and once from perfMemory_exit_helper(). Perhaps the assert in PerfMemory::destroy() should be changed from assert(_prologue != NULL, "prologue pointer must be initialized"); to if (_prologue == NULL) return;
