Looks good.

It shouldn't take that long on any one test, so it was probably hung.
Since SoTimeout passed, it was probably hung on the next test:
wc.java. The only really interesting bit of that test is the stdin
redirection, so perhaps that was a problem? You can try running the
test manually (i.e., "java wc < wc.java", it expects something
interesting on stdin to count lines/words/chars of).

These failures might be benign, the way to tell is to look at the
"*.fail" and compare with the corresponding "*.out" file. ".fail" is
the actual output, and .out is the expected output. You can just send
the .fail files to the list (assuming they're not too big).
Include the output of 'kaffe -fullversion', too.

I'm actually a bit surprised it ran at all! :) I don't recall if
anyone has done much work on SunOS support recently...
