I'm getting down to last major bugs during this run and I'm making the
attempt at trying to run an applet. I recently fixed an obscure bug that
was self introduced during a GCC bug hunting session (fixed when using GCC
3.0.4) and that left over line sucked about 1 month of my time trying to
track it down.

I'm recompiling it right now so that the debug log is limited and I can
track what's going on with the JIT better. But it looked like it started
the entire core compiler correctly, tried to run an applet, failed to
find the class's "main" and successfully threw an exception complaining
about it. That means a bunch of stuff is working in HotSpot. ;)

That's incredible encouraging and my jaw dropped when I saw it do a long
run with lots of method invocations.

;)
