Thanks to Chris St.John (who has been helping me out with
GNU-Paperclips) I have spotted what I think is a Kaffe library error.

The class java.lang.SecurityManager is declared abstract. In Sun's
JDK1.2 it is not declared abstract, it is possible to create new
objects of class SecurityManager (Paperclips has code dependant on
that).

Anyone have any comments?



Also:

   Calendar.roll(int field,int amount) 

and:

    GregorianCalendar.roll(int field,int amount)

are missing from Kaffe.

I'll have a crack at adding them myself and send the patch here.
