Excellent, that's exactly what I suspected to be the problem, but I
hadn't found time to investigate yet :-(

I'll install the patch as soon as you provide a ChangeLog entry (since 
you're on-line :-), and revert this part:

> -java_lang_Runtime_runFinalizersOnExit(jbool on)
> +java_lang_Runtime_runFinalizersOnExit(struct Hjava_lang_Runtime* rt, jboolean on)

Because runFinalizersOnExit is really supposed to be static, as in the
current Klasses.jar.

Thanks for tracking this down!
