System: Linux van-halen 2.4.10 #1 Mon Dec 24 07:29:46 EST 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu

configured with: ./configure
>Description:
When compiling a Java source file that consists only of comments,
gcj gets a segmentation fault.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make a java source file with one or more lines of comments:
// This is a comment in myfile.java
/* This is also
a comment */
When you compile it, e.g.,:
gcj -c -g myfile.java
gcj will seg fault.
>Fix:
Workaround:
Don't include the file in one's compilation. However, a big
system might want to be configured in such a away
that results in source files ending up having all
comments. It's convenient at times to comment out an
entire file when developing.
