Sure but this is why I said that I need to do more extensive tests ... I 
had no access to the JDK documentation for the last week so I needed to 
guess the behaviour. Apparently, the begin()...end() section is not yet 
really implemented in kaffe (and I do not see exactly what it should 
do). Anyway I just wanted to know how many people and to what extent 
they already implemented this part.
