Hmm.. no, I really did mean compile your .java file with
-findirect-dispatch and it works. Omit the -findirect-dispatch and the
program fails.
That's a bug which Tom Tromey fixed two days ago.
I don't know how to reconcile this with the advice in the gcj man
page.
Don't compile source with -findirect-dispatch. This should be an
error in 4.1, and fixed soon after that.
