>Description:
I've written a simple Java application that fails to exit given certain conditions.
The source code is attached; simply stated, if I comment out the annotated
call to System.exit() causes the process to "hang"; compiling it in results
in expected behavior (i.e. the process exits after return from main().

I compiled the program like this:

  gcj --main=Rocky -o rocky Rocky.java -lrt

Just in case the file attachment didn't work, here's the source:


public class Rocky {
    public static void main(String argv[])
    {
        String name;

        if (argv.length == 0) {
            name = "Rocket J. Squirrel";
        } else {
            name = argv[0];
        }

        new Rocky(name).identifySelf();
        System.out.println("goodbye");

        //System.exit(0);
    }

    public Rocky (String name)
    {
        v_name = name;
    }
    
    public void identifySelf()
    {
        System.out.println("This is a Rocky instance named " + v_name);
        System.out.println("Leaving identifySelf()...");
    }

    private String v_name;
}
>How-To-Repeat:
Just compile and run the enclosed program.
