the above is perfectly legal java :-) unreachable bytecode is usually 
bytecode that follows a return --hence unreachable.
the SimpleTestHarness from CVS compiles with no warnings or errors with 
both jikes 1.18 and gcj 3.4 20030126 (experimental) on my athlon.
have you tried a different compiler and got the same errors? what 
compiler are you using?
cheers;
