Class's #getPackage() returns null - (old) bug?

Hi there,

I just tried the following:

--- 8< 8< 8< ---
package men.gcjpackage;

public class TestPackage
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
     System.out.println("ClassLoader: " + 
TestPackage.class.getClassLoader() );
     System.out.println("Package: " + TestPackage.class.getPackage());
   } // main
} // TestPackage
--- 8< 8< 8< ---

I would expect the #getPackage to return "something" else but null - but 
nevertheless I get:

# ./testpackage
ClassLoader: gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader@10074fc0
Package: null

This may have to do with the fact that I run an old GCJ - 3.4.3...
