Andrew will have to look at this patch.  Backtraces are his.

FYI you should put "Fixes PR libgcj/286" into the ChangeLog entry.
This will cause patch references to be put into the PR.

I don't keep track of the paperwork stuff too well.  Have you signed
papers for the FSF?  If so, would you like write access to cvs?  This
won't change anything vis a vis the approval process, but it will make
it easier to get patches in when the time comes.
