gdb with gcj

Thu May 6 15:31:00 GMT 2004

After the last "step" command in the listing below, the debugger waits for a long 
time and eventually just executes the rest of the program without stoppping anywhere
else along the way. Is there something I should be doing to get it to go to the next
line of Java code?
