Interesting results...

[Patrick Tullmann]

Just a suggestion: could someone strip wc.java down to a testcase that
causes this problem and (assuming its really a compiler problem),
name the testcase BrokenCompilerCheck.java or something?  Put it early
in the test run, too.

That will make diagnosing failures much easier in the future.
