I am using 'gcc version 2.97 20010117 (experimental) from CVS
and everything works for me:
$ gcj --main=A.UsesInnerClass A/HasInnerClass.java A/UsesInnerClass.java 
$ ./a.out 
In HasInnerClass(), ic0.s = A stringggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
In UsesInnerClass(), hic.ic0.s = A stringggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
I have no idea where that 'Out of Memory! Returning NIL!' is coming from
that you see when running the program.
