I guess yes. But I can't really say: Before, the interpreter started up 
but would give these strange errors on some method calls sometimes. It 
still starts up, and the method call issue seems to be fixed, but that's 
not to say more bugs will not turn up, of course :-) But then, of course 
you can never know whether there's another bug. I'll tell if we stumble 
over one...

Not completely; it starts up, but something in our call hierarchy eats 
simple key events like single characters, spaces or returns; more 
complex things like function keys, Tab or PgUp/PgDn are processed 
correctly. We do recieve the events, apparently, but something eats 
them. I haven't seen this on the proprietary JVMs, so I guess there must 
be some kind of incompatibility (trying to process key events across 
Javas is **icky**). I'll tell if I find out what's causing this.
