This one I saw recently.

The only stacktrace I get is when I run the app under gdb.

I'll have a look at. There are other things I want find out. E.g. the 
options stuff in gij. This seems to me a bit bogus. I was playing with 
heapsize and found out that it throwss exceptions or doesn't get the 
value in.

[titanium:gcc/gcc/java] andreast% gij -mx= 1
Exception in thread "main" Illegal instruction

[titanium:gcc/gcc/java] andreast% gij -mx =1
Directory stack not that deep.

[titanium:gcc/gcc/java] andreast% gij -mx=1
Usage: gij [OPTION] ... CLASS [ARGS] ...
           to invoke CLASS.main, or
        gij -jar [OPTION] ... JARFILE [ARGS] ...
           to execute a jar file
Try `gij --help' for more information.

Anyway, I'm just playing around.

Thanks,
Andreas
