Crash on startup with "Error in `/usr/bin/java': free(): invalid pointer"

See original GitHub issue

System information:

Operating system: openSUSE Leap 15.1
DBeaver version: All released versions greater than 6.2.4
Java version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.5+10-suse-lp151.3.9.2-x8664)
Additional extensions: Unknown

Connection specification:

Database: PostgreSQL 9.6
Driver name: org.postgresql.Driver
Do you use tunnels or proxies (SSH, SOCKS, etc)? No

Describe the problem you’re observing:

Every release since 6.2.4 has crashed on startup. (6.2.4 works fine.) When I start dbeaver from the console, I see the following message:

~> /usr/share/dbeaver/dbeaver
2019-12-23 09:58:25.566 - > Start DBeaver Standalone [org.jkiss.dbeaver.core.application 6.3.1.201912221734]

*** Error in `/usr/bin/java': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000564cbdf827d0 ***

Steps to reproduce, if exist:

While searching for solutions online I stumbled upon the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_. This variable is set to 3 on my system. Running ~> MALLOC_CHECK_=3 /usr/share/dbeaver/dbeaver results in a crash. Whereas running ~> MALLOC_CHECK_=1 /usr/share/dbeaver/dbeaver does not.

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the logs

It appears to be dying before logs are generated and I’m not certain how to turn up the debug level on the logs.
