Hmm.  We probably ought to throw a different exception here.  Would
you mind filing a bug for this?

What this most likely means is that there is an attempt to define a
class from bytecode, and the attempt failed.

Looking at libjava/configure.host, I see that the interpreter is not
enabled for the MIPS port.  So, an exception here is to be expected.

[testing the latter, just the bug report for the NullPointerException]
