I'd prefer to fix the regression test not to generate any warnings ;) The
thread state example seems to be trivial enough: just rename assert to check,
and it should be fixed. Since you're already wrestling with jikes 1.18, could
you take a shot at fixing the warnings? If you don't have the time, I'd do it
myself.

Weird. worked fine for me with kjc, two days ago. I'll give it another shot
today.

both seem to fail due to bugs in jikes 1.18, see
