Sounds like a bug in the bytecode generation. There are still a few
known bugs here :-(

This sounds a bit like something I fixed recently. However, it is
hard to be certain. Do you have a small test case? Could you make
one?
I think my fix for this problem hasn't been submitted yet. I'm still
ironing out problems with it. If you had a simple test case, I could
try it with my local gcj.

Compile to bytecode with javac, then use gcj to compile the bytecode.
That should work.

I don't know.
