I am writing an Android application that processes a picture from the native C (NDK r10d). The code was working well until recent ART introduction that is more strict with JNI. So the code is working fine with Dalvik (e.g. on pre-Lolipop devices) but ii creates a SIGENV on the newest phones.
I now get the error:

The code I run in Java is:

    /**
     * Return the raw bytes of the native PIX object. You can reconstruct the
     * Pix from this data using createFromPix().
     *
     * @return a copy of this PIX object's raw data
     */
    public byte[] getData() {
        int size = nativeGetDataSize(mNativePix);
        // Size is usually quite big since I work on pictures (1Mo-300Ko)
        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];

        if (!nativeGetData(mNativePix, buffer)) {
            throw new RuntimeException("native getData failed");
        }

        return buffer;
    }

   private static native boolean nativeGetData(long nativePix, byte[] data);

The corresponding native code is:

jboolean Java_com_googlecode_leptonica_android_Pix_nativeGetData(JNIEnv *env,
        jclass clazz, jlong nativePix, jbyteArray data) {
    PIX *pix = (PIX *) nativePix;

    jbyte *data_buffer = env->GetByteArrayElements(data, NULL);

    l_uint8 *byte_buffer = (l_uint8 *) data_buffer;

     size_t size = 4 * pixGetWpl(pix) * pixGetHeight(pix);
     memcpy(byte_buffer, pixGetData(pix), size);

    env->ReleaseByteArrayElements(data, data_buffer, 0);

    return JNI_TRUE;
}

It seems that GetByteArrayElements is the source of the error, but the JNIEnv reference and the jbyteArray are provided by Android and I do not store nor modify them. Since the buffer array is always allocated in the same Java thread, I do not see how it can be corrupted...I am quite puzzled :)
What can be the source of this issue?
Is the heap too small? Or is it an ART issue (I really doubt it though...) ?
Thanks for you help !

Following Alex Cohn 's advice I made the following code work:
JAVA

public byte[] getData() {
       byte[] buffer = nativeGetData(mNativePix);

        if (buffer == null) {
            throw new RuntimeException("native getData failed");
        }
        return buffer;
  }
  private static native byte[] nativeGetData(long nativePix);


Native

jbyteArray Java_com_googlecode_leptonica_android_Pix_nativeGetData(
        JNIEnv *env, jclass clazz, jlong nativePix) {
    PIX *pix = (PIX *) nativePix;
    // Get the size
    size_t size = 4 * pixGetWpl(pix) * pixGetHeight(pix);

    jbyteArray  result = env->NewByteArray(size);
    if (result == NULL) {
        LOGE("Cannot allocate JNI Byte Array");

        return NULL; /* out of memory error thrown */
    }
    // move from the Pix to the java structure
    env->SetByteArrayRegion(result, 0, size,(jbyte*)pixGetData(pix));
    return result;
}


Thanks!
