I could not reproduce this using the latest svn trunk.
It does seem odd that the program would crash when 'Hello' is 
interpreted, but not when natively compiled, because the interpreter is 
not being touched here - both the throw and catch are in compiled libgcj 
code. I think this is just the result of VMCompiler bringing a lot more 
code into the application startup path - ie MD5 which causes security 
provider initialization, and that calls into java.util.logging, etc.
