I don't think that the patch can be correct.  We need to find out why
_Jv_FindClass returns null in this case.  I've never seen this happen.

I don't understand the issue here.  Surely all that is required is to
add a line like 

if (catch_type = NULL)
   printf ("BANG\n");

and use gdb to put a breakpoint on that line.  Are you not familiar
with gdb?
