glibc-2.2.5 bug triggered by Java interpreter

	See the discussions on the Java mailinglist about the use of
dollar signs.  "Java uses dollar sign ($) as the namespace separator for
nested (inner) classes."  Sun seems to have created this precedent.

	The question that repeatedly arises is how to mangle this in
various places that do not allow $, while retaining it where it needs to
be visible to Java, e.g., class serialization.
