OK, thanks.  The redhat 4.1 grmic has receieved extensive testing
whereas the version in generic gcj 4.1 is useless, so applying this is
obviously the right thing to do.  It's regrettable that we didn't
catch this one before gcc 4.1 was released.

In general, divergence between redhat 4.1 and generic FSF 4.1 versions
of gcj is extremely undesirable.

I'll commit this to branch and trunk.

Andrew.
