Hi,
Is it possible to close and rerun a JVM using this gist ?
For example, if I change the previous main with this one:

int main() {

    env=0;
    jvm=0;
    initJVM();
    closeJVM();

    env=0;
    jvm=0;
    initJVM();
    closeJVM();

    return 0;
}

then I have the following runtime error:

$ ./test-ludii-jni 
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

The execution seems ok when I run only one initJVM/closeJVM.
