Classpath bugs should be reported to the Classpath mailing list.  Feel
free to send patches and the like there as well.

If it is a small patch I can just check it in.  Larger patches will
require copyright assignment paperwork.

We do try to keep libgcj and Classpath in sync, at least for the parts
that are shared.  There are some minor divergences right now, mostly
in serialization (I think), but over time these will go away.
Sometimes a patch is checked in to Classpath but not libgcj; however,
I try to resynchronize whenever I notice this happening.

If you want to submit a test case, that would be very cool.  The best
way to do that is to write a test for the class for the Mauve
project.  See:

It is pretty easy to write a Mauve test case.
