>Description:
gcj does not handle correctly the concatenation of two 
String in some cases (see attached example).
gcj calls a gnu.gcj.runtime.StringBuffer and then throws
an .ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException!!!
This seems to happen only when the two String exceed 34
characters. With one less character, the example code
works.
