I think you should be a little more precise in what you automated.

Hm, there are only two things which could do that, I am only printing to
the console and using the CNI to call a C++ function. But I am not sure
if this could cause these faults.

Ah, I see what I additionally removed. I think you didn't remove
beans.o. I threw it out, because by removing it most of the errors
disappeared. That's also the reason, why I only had to write fewer stubs
than you did. It is about 0,4MB.

I am sorry for that, I hit the wrong button. I hope this won't occur
again.
