I just updated the webpages to make that problem more clear.

Please write to this list. If we want you to also file a bug report we will
tell you :)

We are slowly merging the Classpath (which does already has Vector.iterator())
and libgcj classes. If you want a datastructure that already has support for
iterators please use (Array or Linked) List. Anthony Green checked these
in just a few minutes ago, so you will have to update your libgcj.
Or you can try to replace the libgcj Vector.java with the Classpath version
<http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/classpath/java/util/Vector.java>

Success,
