  Cool.
 I agree that it doesn't look like a string handling bug.
 
 Discussed on the mailing list...
 in http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/java-discuss/1999-q4/msg00269.html
 I saw a reference to that, but it wasn't discussed on java-discuss.
 Was it on the general gcc list or on gcj-patches or gcc-bugs?
 Is this fixed in the current cvs tree?
