Is it possible that this fix is only half of the truth?
Test this example:
public class hello
{
 final static long a = 1000000000000L;
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
 long x = 1L;
 int i;
 for(i=0;i<12;i++)
 x *= 10L;
 System.out.println("a = " + a);
 System.out.println("x = " + x);
 }
}
With gcc version 3.2.1 20020902 (prerelease) it prints
on Linux
a = 0xe8d4a51000
x = 1000000000000
The difference is that the 'a = ' string is filled at compile time,
the other one at runtime. (gcj -S told me that).
I will try it with the 20020909 snapshot which is made from HEAD as 
indicated by the announcement.
Thanks for your help
Martin.
