Both GCJ's JNI and Method.invoke() are a bit broken with regard to 
virtual method lookups. They need to be changed to use vtables, which 
will improve performance as well. The vtable offset for each method can 
be stored in struct _Jv_Method without increasing its size.
I actually once wrote a patch to do this but in a moment of carelessness 
managed to rm -rf my entire libjava tree before I had finished it ;-(
