Can't reproduce this.
This is presumably a bug in the FreeBSD port of gcj.
I'm not sure who maintains gcj on FreeBSD.

All of these seem to be FreeBSD specific.  I think that the FreeBSD
port must be broken.

The best plan is to build gcj from source and run the libgcj test
suite.  Then we'll know how brain-damaged the FreeBSD port really is.
