Yes. Definitely a compiler stuff. If you say: "it is a bug" I will report it. That is what I want to hear ;-)

Moreover - even when I compile without -C into binary and there IS compiled .class (even that I reference to .java) it works. It uses .class instead? I think compile from source (.java) _should be_ preffered because should result to more efficient code! [see example in the bottom]

I could but not just now. I'm finishing project and from 18th I should be free to POI/gcj projects. But I already tried to get smaller example and failed. I have to try it again.
