Very strange :-(

Did you test with _same_ compiled class ?  Or did you compile with Sun
javac for JDK test and Kaffe javac (aka kjc) for Kaffe test.

Could you test Sun compiled Test.java with Kaffe ?

What's the result of System.out.println (new BigDecimal ((double)10))
and so one.

If you use kjc I suggest you to retreive my patched version at
http://egp.free.fr/kaffe and also include in CVS Tree of kaffe:

    $ kjc --version
    version number: 1.4F-cvs20000716-egp1
