Maybe kaffe's Klasses.zip is somehow confusing it?
Here is a sample class that it barfs on:
import java.io.*;
public class Foo {
public static class FooBar extends DataInputStream {
public FooBar() {
super(new InputStream() {
public int read() {
return -1;
}
});
}
}
}
Can someone try this with the Sun classes.zip in their CLASSPATH
instead and tell me if it works?

Thanks, I saw that one go by. I think Godmar has already checked in a
FreeBSD-specific workaround anyway. And I added a regression test for it.
