I don't see this.
However if I compile it with `gcj -C' and then run it with gij (with
argument http://sources.redhat.com/ ), the interpreter will crash.
Compiling to object code works fine.
Compiling to bytecode with javac also works fine.
If I try to run the `gcj -C' output with `java', I get a verification
error. So it looks like this program triggers a bug in the compiler's
bytecode generation.
