GCJ problem with org.xml.sax package

["S. Park" <kanzuri at gmail dot com>]

I'm experiencing some strange behavior with a simple class compiled with 
gcj 4.1 on FreeBSD 4.11 and 5.4 IA32. It compiles and runs as is, but if 
I subclass anything in the package org.xml.sax (e.g. by uncommenting the 
'extends' clause below), the executable seg faults. What's strange is 
that I can instantiate objects of types in that same package within the 
body of the main method. The problem only appears when subtyping. The 
test class looks like this:

import java.util.HashMap;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;


public class Foo // extends DefaultHandler
{
      public static void main(String argv[])
      {
              InputSource is = new InputSource();
              String enc = is.getEncoding();


DefaultHandler dh = new DefaultHandler();

              try
              {
                      dh.startDocument();
              }
              catch (Exception e)
              {
                      System.err.println(e.getMessage());
              }


System.out.println(enc);

      }
}


Has anyone else run into this?
