I agree. We use inner classes extensively in our code, including anonymous inner classes and it works fine. However, it's possible that Archie is running it through the Kaffe stress tests, which might show up different bugs. Note, if you use jikes Kaffe appears to have problems, but this has already been reported to the Kaffe team. Nate ps. Archie, the modulo bug should be fixed in all subsequent releases of FreeBSD. Keith White tracked down the bug and I committed the fixes recently. If you are interested in a 'configure' solution for FreeBSD I can tell you privately.
