Some further comments from Zurich :)

The modified simple.jar with the sun java:
[titanium:libjava/testsuite/libjava.jar] andreast% java -jar simple.jar
hi

The original one:

[titanium:libjava/testsuite/libjava.jar] andreast% java -jar simple.orig 
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: invalid manifest format
        at java.util.jar.Manifest.read(Manifest.java:186)
        at java.util.jar.Manifest.<init>(Manifest.java:52)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.getManifest(JarFile.java:148)

And here the diff of the MANIFEST:

damn, I can't diff!
Binary files META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and META-INF.new/MANIFEST.MF differ

old:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 0.92-gcc

Main-Class: simple
^@

new:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 0.92-gcc
Main-Class: simple

So, I'm not sure who is the guilty one, either the fastjar or fastjar. Since it
fails with the sun one too I'd say fastjar.

I'd have a patch. Simply replace the simple.jar with one that contains a valid
MANIFEST.
