Yes, this was a problem in Kaffe 0.9.2 that is fixed meanwhile. Contrary to what the www.kaffe.org says, the latest official version of Kaffe is 0.10.0 and can be downloaded from ftp.transvirtual.com/pub/kaffe or various mirror sites. A nightly snapshot is available from the same site. If you need to use 0.9.2, look here for the appropriate patch. - Godmar
