What strange errors where these?

Compiling with `-g' and then using gdb is usally the Right Thing to
do.

Well, let me try.

z.java: -----------------------------------------------------------
package foo;

class z 
{
  public static void main (String argv[])
  {
    System.out.println ("Hello");
  }
}
------------------------------------------------------------------

Then:

 > gcj z.java --main=foo.z
 > ./a.out 
Hello
 >

Looks good to me.

Andrew.
