Problems with Serializable-String[] in 2.96

[Pete Kelly <ramsfanxxxiv at yahoo dot com>]

I am unable to build the code below with gcj from
RedHat 7.3 (gcj version 2.96).  

It appears there is a problem with using a String[]
when the method signature specifies a paramenter of
type java.io.Serializable.  The compiler returns with
"unexpected type on stack" error on first line of
method as well as the line that has the method
invocation:

example/Implementor.java:11: unexpected type on stack
example/Implementor.java:23: unexpected type on stack


Is/was this a known issue?  Has it been corrected in
latest version of gcj?  Can I install latest version
of gcj without building all of gcc?

Thanks in advance,

Pete


Here is the source:
package example;


import java.io.Serializable;


public class Implementor {

    private int count_;

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Implementor imp = new Implementor();

        if (args.length < 1) {
            System.out.println("No arguments, test
sending array of Strings to setCount()...");
            String[][] values = {
                {"one", "two"},
                {"three", "four"},
                {"five", "six"},
                {"seven", "eight"},
                {"nine", "ten"}
            };
            imp.setCount(values);

        }
        else {
            for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                System.out.println("args[" + i + "]: 
" + args[i]);
                imp.setCount(args[i]);
            }
        }
    }

    public int getCount() {
        return count_;
    }

    public void setCount(Serializable count) {
        if (count instanceof String) {
            count_ = Integer.parseInt((String) count);
            System.out.println("count_ now is: " +
count_);
        }
        else     // hande as array of Strings
        {
            String[][] values = (String[][]) count;
            for (int i=0; i<values.length; i++) {
                for (int j=0; j<values[i].length; j++)
{
                    System.out.println("count[" + i +
"][" + j + "]:  " + values[i][j]);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
