Bug in the kaffe-script?

[Stefan Hellkvist]

Thanks Godmar,

Now I see the problem here.

The classes in the java directory were taken from the Sun JDK1.2. The
reason for this was that they did not exist before in Kaffe. The
reason it fails in Kaffe is simply because it calls a native function
which doesn't exist in Kaffe. I didn't see this before because I
didn't use that function earlier. 

The reason it worked if I put the '.' last in CLASSPATH is that the 
class we're speaking of here is nowadays implemented in Kaffe so the 
reason to have the java directory is just not there anymore.
