kaffe bug?

[Archie Cobbs]

When I compile this (obviously broken) program:

  public class Foo {
    char[] x = new char[] = { ':' };
  }

..using "javac -O -g EtherAddr.java", I get a compiler crash:

  java.lang.ArrayStoreException: 
    at sun/tools/java/Parser.exprArgs(line unknown, pc 0x4174f4)
    at sun/tools/java/Parser.parseTerm(line unknown, pc 0x42d2fa)
    at sun/tools/java/Parser.parseExpression(line unknown, pc 0x414e13)
    at sun/tools/java/Parser.parseField(line unknown, pc 0x4230ca)

    at sun/tools/javac/BatchEnvironment.parseFile(line unknown, pc 0x32925d)
    at sun/tools/javac/Main.compile(line unknown, pc 0x17b74d)
    at sun/tools/javac/Main.main(line unknown, pc 0x154b6b)

I filed a bug report with Sun but they were not able to duplicate
this under JDK 1.1.3... so it may be a bug in kaffe itself.

Can someone else confirm that they don't get this crash under JDK?
In which case it must be a kaffe bug (in which case I'm reporting it
here).

This is with the current FreeBSD port of kaffe under FreeBSD 2.2.5.

Thanks,
-Archie
