I'm trying to make kaffe running on m68k linux and I need
some h elp.

First the good news:
The following test pass

        HelloWorldApp
        TestIntLong
        Str
        Str2 
        IndexTest 
        StackDump 
        tname 
        IllegalInterface 
        GetInterfaces
        SignedShort 
        BadFloatTest
        finaltest 
        finaltest2 
        forNameTest 
        KaffeVerifyBug 
        Schtum 
        Reflect 
        Bean 
        CLTest

That not bad and there is a other implicit test since I compil
all java class with kaffe sun.tools.javac.Main .

Now the bad news:
the following test don't pass 

        ttest
        burford 
        DeadThread
        ExecTest
        tthrd1 
        ReflectInvoke 
        InvTarExcTest
        GCTest

In fact I've 2 kind of problem
1 - ttest, burford, DeadThread, tthrd1 end like this:
        ttest ... error running
        But got instead:
        java.lang.NullPointerException
                at java/lang/Thread.<init>(84)
                at java/lang/Thread.<init>(line unknown, pc 0x6)
                at TestThread.<init>(line unknown, pc 0x1)
                at ttest.main(line unknown, pc 0x4)
    
    I get a java.lang.NullPointerException every time I call
    method of ThreadGroup.

    for exemple this small program cause a NullPointerException:

        public class GetThreadGroup
        {
                public static void main ( String[] argv )
                {
                        ThreadGroup current_tg;
                        current_tg = Thread.currentThread().getThreadGroup();
                        if ( current_thread_group == null )
                                System.out.println(
                                    "current_tg = null");
                        else
                                System.out.println(
                                    "current_tg = " 
                                    + current_tg.getName());

                }
        }
 
   
2 - ReflectInvoke and InvTarExcTest give this result:           
        ReflectInvoke ... error running
          Should have got:
        2
        8
          But got instead:
        caught java.lang.NullPointerException
        java.lang.NullPointerException
                at ReflectInvoke.main(21)
                
        InvTarExcTest ... error running
          Should have got:
        Caught itexception: null
        java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
                at InvTarExcTest.main(13)
        Target is: throwing inner exception
          But got instead:
        Caught throwable: java.lang.NullPointerException
        java.lang.NullPointerException
                at InvTarExcTest.main(13)
        This should not happen.

I hope that somebody will have an idea to h elp since I think we are very
closer to make kaffe usable on linux m68k with interpreter.
