 I can not reproduce this problem using gcc 2.95.2 + java patches and current
 libgcj from cvs. I strongly suspect that this the exception handling problem in
 current gcc snapshots that has been discussed on the mailing list, and not a
 string handling bug.
 
 I will try this out on a gcc 2.96 build tonight. If it crashes there, its a good
 thing, because up until now I havn't been able to come up with a self-contained
 test case for this problem.
 
 For now, if you use gcc 2.95.2 plus the java patch from
 http://waitaki.otago.ac.nz/~bryce/gcj/ , you shouldn't have this problem.
