I get the same with that version of gcj.
But on an older gcj installation:
gcj (Debian 4.3.2-2) 4.3.2

gnu.xml.dom.DomDocumentBuilderFactory@6992f029
gnu.xml.dom.DomDocumentBuilder@647a3539
gnu.xml.dom.DomImpl@64826fa9

gnu.xml.dom.DomDocumentBuilderFactory@17d5dffb
gnu.xml.dom.DomDocumentBuilder@12bcf52b
java.lang.NullPointerException
   at java.io.PrintStream.println(PrintStream.java:473)

That is somewhat strange since that method seems fine:
  public void println (Object obj)
  {
    print(obj == null ? "null" : obj.toString(), true);
  }

So maybe just upgrading to a newer Fedora and gcc 4.4 will be the
solution, although I don't completely get what goes wrong on the old
install.

Cheers,

Mark
