SimpleDateFormat throws exception with valid inputs - ideas?

["Scott Gilbertson" <scottg at mantatest dot com>]

The attached program runs OK on the JRE but generates an exception on GCJ
(trunk cvs fetch from a few weeks ago).  I started to look through
SimpleDateFormat to see if I could spot what was happening, but I'm not at
all familiar with that class.  Does anybody have an idea of what's going on,
or some tips to debug it?  Thanks.

In the output below, you'll see a pair of numbers following each
FieldSizePair.  I added that to FieldSizePair.toString for debugging, to see
if any of the tokens were invalid.  They look OK to me.  I'm not getting
line numbers in the stack trace for some reason.
