[kaffe] Bug Report: accessing array doesn't throw NullPointerException under MIPS

Okay,

'make check' comes up with the following for each test.

	FAIL: ReflectInterfaces.java
	error compiling:
	Internal error: caught an unexpected exception.
	Please check your CLASSPATH and your installation.
	java/lang/NullPointerException
	Aborted

Is it work trying again with with intrp or jit?

Regards,

Matthew
