It still fails as before. However, I noticed current Kaffe in CVS (as of
today) builds fine and regression testsuite reports that 25 of 131 tests
failed. Since GC tests work, I don't think the remaining bugs are due to 
a possible mishandling of IA-64 register stack (in jthread.c, see BSP 
stuff).

BTW, under which circumstances could the following happen?
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestSerialPersistent

Caused by: <null cause>
(that occurred e.g. for ttest test, but hand compiling with kjc and rerun 
it succeeded)

1.0.7 regression testsuite fails in a lot of places similarly to
error compiling:
Internal error: caught an unexpected exception.

Was the main change of 1.0.7 -> 1.1 concerned javac?

Bye,
