I haven't tried your patch yet. As a guess though I'd say that the
bug is that you didn't update NUM_OBJECT_METHODS in include/jvm.h.
Also you might need to update the get_finalizer() methods (there are
two) in that same file. (It is possible you won't have to if you
added the dummy methods to Object and not _JvObjectPrefix.) Yes, this
stuff is super ugly.
