dynamic_cast problem in JNI code - any suggestions welcome.

Andrew, thanx for your prompt feedback!
Are you suggesting bringing everything up to rev (Redhat 8.0, JDK 1.4/5,
gl4java(new version ?), etc...), or do you think it is worth it to try to
start from 3.2 sources? There is no 3.2 RPM for Redhat 7.2 and there are
some libraries that will take time to get compile, etc.
I know that I will have to do this eventually, but, we may also be
supporting 7.2 for a long time.

Before we go any further, try compiling with gcc 3.2.
If it's still broken in that release we can investigate further.
Andrew.
