I think that the bug database is broken. Just use the mailing list, and you 
will get more useful feedback.

kaffe's javap implementation would need a hacker to finish the work. As long 
it is not finished, if you need to disassemble class files, you can use JDK's 
javap. But you will have to give it  Klasses.jar as the bootclasspath to 
disassemble the right classes. I think javap from JDK 1.3 also allows 
bootclasspath to be set.

/usr/lib/jdk1.4.0/bin/javap -c -bootclasspath 
~/DL/kaffe/libraries/javalib/Klasses.jar -private -l -verbose 
java.io.PushbackReader

With java 1.1.8 the option you need is called classpath, I think.

I don't see from the disassembly why it should fail. I guess the bug is in the 
verifier when it is compiled with gcc3. Everything (i.e. make check) works 
for me with  gcc 2.95.3 (suse 7.3 i386 jit3, latest cvs).

have fun,
