GIJ libgcj fails to read file from disk on linux

["Doug Parsons" <doparsons at rev dot net>]

The instructions for the bug reports are not very clear when it come to the
GIJ but here is what I have:

Attached is a .tar containig the .java and .class files. It does not matter
what compiled the .class files. If you run FishDump with GIJ it will try to
read a file from /usr/local with the name info. The first run should report
that the file cannot be read it then writes the file to disk. The second run
should report nothing, indicating a sucessful read.

In GIJ it always fails to read. It is writing correctly but not reading. If
you run the program in java (IBM jdk 1.1.8) it reports nothing indicating a
good read on the file written under the GIJ run.

What is triggering the failed read is the line that reads:

Printer pnt = new Printer();

If you remove this it works fine.

While looking for errors in source code I found that if you check for null
just prior to returning to main something is stored in the object. It is
failing to be passed back to main. I even tied creating a set method and
setting it with no luck.

I have compile this down to Linux source and the problem is the same without
GIJ.

Thanks,
